The plan should list all steps to be taken in an impending crisis and should involve surreptitiously collecting all materials she will need in one hidden location that will enable her to leave quickly and without triggering suspicion.A code word to alert children without alerting the spouse is also needed.Telling the spouse of her plans will likely evoke further violence or at the very least enable him to destroy her preparations.Weapons present the greater danger of serious injury or loss of life for both the victims and the abuser.
