Safety During an Explosive Incident
Decide and plan where you will go if you have to leave home (even if you don't think you will need to).
Practice how to get out of your home safely. Identify which doors, windows, elevator or stairwell would be best.
Have a packed bag ready and keep it at a friends or relative's home in order to leave quickly.
Identify one or more neighbors you can tell about the violence and ask them to call police if they hear a disturbance coming from your home.
Chooses a code word to use with your children, family, friends, and neighbors when you need the police.
If you believe an argument/incident is going to occur, try to move to a room or area where you have access to an exit. Stay away from any weapons, the bathroom, the kitchen, bedroom or other rooms without an outside door or window.
Use your own instincts and judgement. If the situation is very dangerous, do whatever is necessary to be safe. This may mean giving the abuser what they want to calm them down.
If necessary, call for help. Dial "0" or "911".
