Pre-Prepared Items for Safety Kit:

• money, bank books, credit cards
• house keys, car keys
• identification, important papers (birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce or separation agreements, First Nation status card)
• copies of protection orders
• health cards for you and the children
• documents (if any) relating to the custody of your children
• copies of your lease, mortgage, or other deeds
• car registration, driver’s license, car insurance
• immigration/citizenship papers, passports
• any medicine you or your children may need

Items you use daily or come back later for:

• clothes for you and the children for a few days

It’s probably a good idea to get legal and other advice now, even before there is an emergency.
