On-site supervisors would announce the alert building wide over the public address system.
Residents who are ambulatory would be moved to designated safety areas. Doors to residents' rooms would then be closed and rooms would be monitored.
Residents with limited mobility, who could not be moved to a shelter area, would be relocated into interior bathrooms if possibe.
If that is not an option, residents who are bed ridden would be moved away from outside walls and windows. Staff would pull the privacy curtain and cover the residents with extra blankets to provide additional protection from debris. They would remain in that situation until an "all clear" is sounded.
