Understanding GEEPs and PEEPs

### What Is a GEEP? A General Emergency Evacuation Plan (GEEP) sets out the overall evacuation arrangements for a premises — escape routes, assembly points, staff responsibilities and communication. It applies to the building and its general population. ### What Is a PEEP? A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) is a tailored plan for an individual who may need assistance to evacuate — for example due to mobility, sensory or cognitive impairment. It sets out the specific support, equipment and staff assistance required. ### When Are They Needed? A GEEP should be in place for all relevant premises. A PEEP is required where any occupant or regular visitor may need assistance to escape. In residential care and supported living, person-centred evacuation planning is particularly important. ### LRMS Support We can help you develop GEEPs and PEEPs as part of emergency planning, integrated with your fire risk assessment findings.
