Safety planning is an important step for undocumented and mixed-status individuals and families who want to be prepared for unexpected situations. Creating a plan ahead of time can help protect children and loved ones, organize important documents and information, and identify trusted people and community resources that can provide support if needed. This page includes resources on family preparedness, rapid response networks, travel considerations, and other tools to help individuals and families make informed decisions, stay connected to support, and navigate times of uncertainty with greater confidence.
Immigrant Legal Resource Center offers a toolkit to assist families to prepare in case of emergencies.
United We Dream's Preparedness Packet supports immigrant families prepare themselves and their loved ones against detention and deportation.
Rapid Response Networks are community groups that respond when immigration authorities are reported in the area. The goal is to connect families to legal support, verify & document any reported immigration activity, and reduce misinformation and fear amongst immigrant communities.
