OpenPEEP is the open standard for Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs). It provides a transparent, compliant, end-to-end framework for evacuation planning - from the very first assessment through to consent cycles, review cycles and the final Emergency Evacuation Statement (EES).

Current legislation demands
Current legislation demands that organisations produce PEEPs, PCFRAs and Evacuation Strategy Statements (EES), but it has never prescribed what these should look like. The result has been inconsistency, confusion and costly duplication across the sector. OpenPEEP fills that gap.

The OpenPEEP Standard defines the entire flow: starting with a Person-Centred Fire Risk Assessment (PCFRA), moving through consent, creating a PEEP, and linking it to wider evacuation strategies, then back again into review cycles. Each stage is supported by published schemas that validate people, addresses, consent records and review histories, ensuring the data is consistent, portable and legally robust.

OpenPEEP is free and open, designed to empower regulators, housing associations, fire and rescue services, care providers and software developers. By using a shared language, everyone can create, exchange and validate evacuation plans with confidence.

The framework is built on modern, interoperable JSON schemas with worked examples, validation tools and documentation. It ensures that PEEPs, PCFRAs and EES documents can be generated, shared and audited in a consistent, machine-readable way. No more guesswork or “proprietary interpretations” - just clear standards that everyone can trust.

Our mission is to raise the floor across the entire industry. OpenPEEP removes barriers, levels the playing field and accelerates compliance. Whether you are writing a PEEP for an individual, managing multiple PCFRAs across a housing portfolio, or overseeing evacuation strategies at scale, OpenPEEP provides the common foundation to make evacuation planning safer, smarter and more transparent.
