Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan. Note: Although a building may have suitable access, it is important that confirmation is sought that there are emergency evacuation procedures in place. Therefore, it will be necessary to contact your personal tutor/line manager or your host to enable the preparation of a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). This will ensure that facilities and procedures are in place in the event of an emergency or that alternative locations are used.
