In-patient evacuations typically utilize a "horizontal evacuation" strategy, where patients are moved to a safer area within the same building, often to a designated safe zone or a lower floor. This method minimizes the need for external transportation and maintains the integrity of the healthcare facility. In more severe situations, a "vertical evacuation" may occur, where patients are moved down to ground levels or outside, often involving specialized equipment for those with mobility issues. The choice of evacuation type depends on the nature of the emergency and the specific needs of the patients.
