Would you ask your friends and relatives to ‘stay put’ or leave them without the correct means of escape, to take them to a place of safety?

“Thinking about emergency evacuation is a bit like making a will, no-one wants to do it but everyone should. As a wheelchair user living in a high rise flat, I put it off for far too long and wish I hadn’t. The team listened to my concerns without judgement and helped find a solution which works for me, and my care team, if I ever need to evacuate. I sleep soundly now!” - Sarah

A comprehensive Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEPs) was completed for Sarah by a specialist company. This is essential for people who require assistance to evacuate a building. Many people have not had a PEEPs completed, often told it is not required but why wouldn’t you want a safe means of escape for everyone!
