What is Emergency Evacuation?
Effective evacuation relies on clear procedures, regular practice, and special arrangements for vulnerable occupants. This module manages evacuation procedures, drill planning, and personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs) for people requiring assistance.
Evacuation procedures are documented for each building and area, with role cards generated for fire marshals detailing their specific responsibilities. Assembly point registers enable rapid accounting of all occupants, identifying anyone missing who may require rescue.
PEEP creation identifies individuals requiring assistance during evacuation, with buddy systems and equipment requirements documented. Regular drill scheduling ensures practice at appropriate intervals, with timing and participation recorded for compliance evidence.
