SAFETY PLAN FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Always keep some money hidden Keep extra keys for car and house Have important documents and items readily available: Drivers license and number - his and yours Marriage license- certificate  Bank statements - account numbers  Insurance policies  Birth Certificates (yours & children)   Social Securty numbers (his, yours & children)   List of important phone numbers   Medications and prescriptions Valuable jewelry    Have a small bag with extra clothing Hide this in one central place (friend's house, garage, closet, etc. in an overnight bag, gym bag, paper bag or whatever is available). Figure out what his pattern of behavior is during the violent stage and determine where the best place would be to have these things available to you, should you need to leave quickly. Esablish a code with a neighbor or friend in case an emergency arises. Above all don't hesitate to call the police! Call 911. Get rid of weapons in the house Let neighbors be alert to strange noises and call the police.
