What is an Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP)?
The Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP) is a General Services Administration requirement under the Federal Property Management Regulations. The OEP provides the specific procedures to protect life and property in a specific Federally-occupied space. The DOE Office of Management (MA) has responsibility for implementing the overall program for the DOE Headquarters facilities. In leased facilities, the lead agency is responsible for coordinating the overall plan. Each Program Secretarial Office is responsible for the implementation of the detailed OEP requirements for the areas of the building that they occupy.
