Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (RPEEPs)
Fire & Evacuation Services provide professional support for Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans, helping responsible persons meet their legal duties and protect vulnerable residents who may need assistance during an emergency evacuation.
With RPEEPs now in force across England from 6 April 2026 as part of the Fire Safety Regulations 2025, building owners, landlords, managing agents, and responsible persons must ensure that suitable arrangements are in place for residents who may struggle to evacuate from their home without support.
Through our partnership with 3SGroup Ltd, we offer an efficient, compliant, and technology-led residential PEEPs solution that combines proven software with our operational fire safety expertise.
What Are Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans?
Residential Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans, commonly known as RPEEPs or Residential PEEPs, are designed to help identify relevant residents who may require support during an emergency evacuation. These Residential Evacuation Plans help responsible persons create a clear, practical process for supporting people who may not be able to evacuate safely without assistance.
These plans are especially important in residential buildings, high-rise residential buildings, and multi-residential buildings where vulnerable people may have a mobility issue, cognitive condition, sensory need, cognitive or physical impairment, or other circumstances that could affect their ability to evacuate safely and independently. They also help responsible persons understand the support needed for each resident.
A compliant RPEEPs process helps responsible persons:
Identify relevant residents who may struggle to evacuate without assistance
Offer a Person-Centred Fire Risk Assessment
Agree on a resident’s simple Emergency Evacuation Statement
Provide reasonable and proportionate measures to support resident safety
Prepare a building-wide emergency evacuation plan
Share essential information with the fire and rescue service, local Fire and Rescue Service, or Fire and Rescue Authority where required
At Fire & Evacuation Services, we help make this process clear, practical, and compliant.
