What does FEP stand for in emergency management?

FEP stands for Facility Emergency Plan. This term refers to a comprehensive plan developed by facilities to outline procedures and protocols for responding to emergencies, ensuring safety, and mitigating risks. The Facility Emergency Plan encompasses various scenarios, such as fires, natural disasters, hazardous material spills, and security threats, detailing specific actions, roles, and responsibilities for staff and emergency responders.

This plan is crucial in high-rise buildings where the complexity and scale of potential emergencies require thorough preparation and quick, coordinated responses. By having a well-defined Facility Emergency Plan, an organization can enhance its readiness to effectively manage emergencies and protect the lives of occupants and staff.
