You might need help to evacuate if, for example, you or someone in your household has any of the following

  • mobility issue
  • visual impairment
  • hearing impairment
  • there may be children or elderly people living with you
  • you have a temporary disability like a broken leg or had an operation and are recovering
  • you may be dependant on equipment like an oxygen tank which you would need help with

We use the information you provide to help us create personal emergency evacuation plans (known as a PEEPs) if support to evacuate is needed. We will share the information with the Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service so that they can make sure you and members of your household can be safely evacuated in case of an emergency.
