Deaf Alerter System
The University has recently installed a Deaf Alerter system, which enables deaf people to be made aware of an emergency evacuation situation when on University premises. The system requires the individual to wear a small pager, which receives a radio signal transmitted when the emergency alarm is activated.
If you think you might benefit from using this equipment, the following information will be useful.

Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEPs)
Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans ((PEEPs)) are usually drawn up where an individual may have difficulty evacuating the building on their own. They may be developed where assistance is needed temporarily, for example following an operation or accident, or where an individual has a permanent disability.
The purpose of a PEEP is to outline the emergency action to be taken by the PEEP Owner and the support that will be provided to them.
