N2  - When an F3 tornado severely damaged a hospital in Americus, GA, all patients had to be evacuated through the emergency department. Fifty-three patients were evacuated by area ambulances and a school bus to other hospitals in the region. The hospital advises others to have an internal evacuation plan as well as two-way radios, a megaphone to direct staff and volunteers, and additional security. A temporary treatment area was set up at a local church.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
