During An Explosive Incident

• Stay in a room with easy access to an exit
  
• Ask neighbors to call police if they hear a disturbance
  
• Pick a "CODE WORD" to use with your children, family, friends when you need police
  
• Use your best instincts and judgments to stay safe until you can escape or help arrives
  

• If possible put aside money for this day: Credit cards, checks, bank books, etc.
  
• Make an extra set of keys to the house and car -- keep them hidden and accessible.
  
• Make an "EMERGENCY" bag for yourself and children. Include a set of clothes for each, important papers (birth certificates, social security cards, list of medications, etc.)
  
• Plan where you can go temporarily even if you do not think you will need to leave the home
  
• Contact the local women's shelters for emotional support and information on available help and temporary safe shelter
  
• LEAVE HOME IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE IN REAL PHYSICAL DANGER. CALL THE POLICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE - 911
