## Getting out of a building in an emergency

#### Could you need help to get out of a building in an emergency?

You may have difficulties with your mobility, have a sight or hearing impairment, or maybe a medical condition which could stop you leaving the building in an emergency, or slow you down. Usually, an emergency will mean a fire alarm.

If this is the case, you will need a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP).

[Let us know as soon as you can](https://www.dass.manchester.ac.uk/contact-and-see-us/) if you think you might need a PEEP, and we can let your School know. You’ll need to have a chat to someone from your School about the buildings you are likely to use and decide on a plan.

If you’d prefer, you can email your School directly about your PEEP.

#### Living in University Halls of Residence?

If you are living in one of our Halls and feel that you could benefit from a PEEP, [contact the Accommodation office.](http://www.accommodation.manchester.ac.uk/about-us/)

#### Living in Private Accommodation?

If you are living in a private Halls of Residence, which the University doesn’t run, unfortunately we can’t assist you with a PEEP. You should contact the owner of the residence to discuss this.
