I will list the things you should have in your bag, then how to evacuate your abusive household if you ever need to. Here is a list of things you should add to your INCH Bag.

Your Bag Should Have

• Bottle(s) of water
• A few days worth of clean clothes
• Leukotape
• Medication (if you take any)
• Neosporin / Cortizone
• Vaseline

Nutrition

• Food: Things that don’t need to be heated up, refrigerated or won’t dry out. Canned food works as well as beef-jerky so on
• Bottle(s) of water

Tools

• Pocket knife
• Eating utensils, at least one or two of each: knife, fork, spoon.

Now that you have that packed, keep your back in a place no one will find it. Under the bed or in your clothes under a stack of clothes. When you need to leave quickly- locate it and leave. It has what you need till you find a place to stay at. PLEASE HAVE A PLAN.

You should already have a plan, for when you need to quickly GTFO with your  QRB. Know where your local shelters are, have a friend house to bunk at, or stay in a local motel. You can get your transportation via your own car, your friend, public transportation, or Uber/Lyft.
