Identify barriers and plan how you will communicate, who can assist you, and how you will evacuate or shelter.
A personal safety plan can fit your needs when you think about barriers you might face, not just a generic checklist. Decide how you will communicate, who can assist you, and how you will evacuate or shelter if you need to. You can also build a kit with essential supplies, medical items, and important documents so you are ready when it matters.
Your next step
Write down one way you will communicate, one helper, and your exit or shelter plan.
Words you can use
“Can we plan how you'd reach me and help me get out in an emergency?”
