Safety Planning


EMERGENCY

In an Emergency

If you feel unsafe or believe harm is imminent, treat the situation as urgent and seek help immediately.
Your instinct matters — if something feels wrong, it probably is.

  • Contact 911 or your local emergency number immediately
  • Move to a safe, public, or well-lit area if possible
  • Use a pre-arranged “safe word” to alert trusted contacts
  • Keep essential documents and medications ready to grab
  • Prioritize your safety first — belongings can be replaced


TECH SAFETY

Tech / Computer Safety

Technology can protect you, but it can also be used to monitor you. Strengthening your device
and account security reduces the risk of being tracked or accessed without consent.

  • Use unique, strong passwords for every account
  • Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible
  • Clear browser history or use private browsing
  • Do not save passwords on shared devices
  • Update software regularly to prevent security gaps


DIGITAL SAFETY

Cell Phone / Social Media Safety

Smartphones and apps can expose your location, contacts, and activity. Taking control of your privacy
settings helps reduce what others can see or track.

  • Disable location tracking for apps that don’t need it
  • Remove unknown or suspicious followers
  • Avoid posting locations in real time
  • Use encrypted messaging apps when possible
  • Review “active sessions” on social platforms and log out remotely
