Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (RPEEPs)
An RPEEP (Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan) is a personal plan that explains:
What assistance you may need in an emergency
What arrangements are in place to support you
What you should do if there is a fire in your building
RPEEPs are sometimes referred to in government guidance as Residential PEEPs. ...From 6 April 2026, the Responsible Person for certain residential buildings must make reasonable arrangements to plan for the safe evacuation of residents who may not be able to self‑evacuate. ...Share relevant information
You can explain, in simple terms, what might make it difficult for you to leave the building quickly or safely in a fire, and what assistance could help.
