Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) should be created for you if you require additional assistance during an evacuation. PEEPs are designed in consultation with the Building Chief Warden of the building and/or Student Living Community in which you are primarily based and with assistance from Disability Support staff where appropriate. If you have a PEEP, please consider informing your colleagues so that they can provide the best assistance to you in the event an evacuation is required. EVACUATIONS An evacuation is the movement of building occupants outside to a safer location because there is an internal threat.
