    "If the paging operator announces that a tornado warning has been issued for Fayette County and you are a
    patient-care staff member:
    - Move visitors and ambulatory patients to interior corridors. Close room doors.
    - Move non-ambulatory patients away form windows. Close blinds, cover patients with blankets,
    and close room doors.
    - Move to an interior corridor.
    If you are a non-patient care staff member:
    - Move to an interior corridor or office
    - Close room doors."
