EPP = Emergency Preparedness Plan.

...Note that an "Emergency Preparedness Plan" is typically NOT an "Safety Program". The EPP is what to do when there is an emergency (injury, weather, public safety threat, fire, flood, etc.). A 'Safety Program' is about educating and equipping the workers (paid or not) and administrators (paid or not) about hazard recognition and safe working practices. A Theatre Safety Plan is there to protect the Audience, Performers, Staff, and Volunteers. You cannot differentiate between those that are paid or unpaid, those that are students or teachers, those that work for the state or a private institution.

Or putting it more simply: A Safety Program is about 'keeping the horse in the barn'; an Emergency Preparedness Plan is 'what to do after the horse gets out or the barn or is on fire'. ...

One model example: http://www.sdcyb.org/s/Emergency-Plan-2014p.pdf .

See also Evacuation Procedures, which may be included in the EPP; but not necessarily, as some emergencies do not/should not require evacuation.
