Building Emergency Plan Development Resources

Building Deputies and/or BEP developers will complete Building Emergency Plans in conjunction with building-specific safety committees. These plans will include basic information as specified in the BEP template, which is designed to provide building occupants with general emergency response recommendations. 

BEP Developer's Portal 

The BEP Developer's Portal allows Building Deputies and/or BEP developers to access Cascade, the website tool where BEPs are maintained. Each individual Building Deputy or BEP developer is responsible for making edits and updates to their BEP. Several resources are included below.
