Safety Planning Step 8: Items to take when leaving. When a person decides to leave an abusive relationship, it is important to take certain items. Beyond this, it is sometimes helpful to give an extra copy of papers and an extra set of clothing to a friend just in case she/he needs to leave quickly. Items in asterisks on the following list are the most important to take. If there is time, the other items might be taken, or stored outside the home. These items might best be placed in one location, so that if I/we have to leave in a hurry, I can grab them quickly. When I leave, I should take: *Identification for myself *Children's birth certificates *My birth certificate *Social Security Cards *School and vaccination records Money *Checkbook, ATM card Credit cards Keys: house/car/office Driver's license and registration *Medications Welfare identification Green cards Passport(s) Divorce papers Medical records-for all family members Lease/rental agreement, house deed, mortgage payment book Bank books Insurance papers Small saleable objects Address book Pictures Jewelry *Children's favorite toys and/or blankets Items of special sentimental value Telephone numbers I need to know: Police department- 911 Local Crisis Center _______________________________________________ Registry of protection orders _____________________________________ Work number _______________________________________________________ Supervisor's home number __________________________________________ Minister __________________________________________________________ Other _____________________________________________________________ Adapted from Barbara Hart and Jane Stuehling, PCADV, McKnight Street, Reading, PA 19601, PCADV, 1992, which was adopted from "Personalized Safety Plan," Office of the City Attorney, City of San Diego, California, April, 1990.
