r A weekly public service feature from-
the Texas Stale Department ot Health
imfctHilfi
J.E. PEAVY, M.D., Commissioner ol Health
Over the years. the
National Weather Service has
developed a system to
accurately report severe weat
her conditions. The public is
informed by radio and televis
ion advisories.
For tornado activities, the
terms used are "Tornado
Watch", indicating the possibi
lily of a tornado; "Tornado
Warning", meaning that a
tornado has been reported in
the general area; and "Tornado
Alert", meaning to act fast, that
a tornado is known to be in the
area.
What can you do in the face
of a tornado alert .’
If it's daylight. or if you can
see fhe funnel advancing
toward you. you may have time
to move out of its path. If you
have a storm cellar, you should
move into it.
If you can't get out of the
way and you don't have a storm
cellar, you can still protect
yourself.
In homes, open some
windows and then keep away
Irom them Get to the center of
the house, or to a basement
In schools, move to
prearranged shelter areas. Post
a lookout il it can be done
safclv.
In shopping areas, go to
designated shelter areas.
Mother Nature has many
faces. In spite of all her
gentleness, there is a destruct
ive side as well, consider, for
example, the tornado, one of
the deadliest phenomena in
nature.
Many of these violent
storms occur during the
snringtime, when the earth is
waking fn,m jls winler
slumber. The destructive,
whirling wind may strile almost
wihout warning and seemingly
at random, sweeping every
thing out of its way with a
whiplash tail that moves in a
narrow path across the land.
At one time, about all that
people could do to guard
against being killed or injured
by a tornado was to be on the
alert for tornado weather and
to move underground - into a
storm cellar w hen conditions
warranted.
While oldtimers had to relv
on experience to assess the
possibility of a tornado,
electronics play a major part in
today's alert system.
Radar storm warning sets
are used in almost all major
cities in the state. These
stations are connected by
teletype and radio, nv station is
able to instantly apprise all
other stations ol tornado
activity and th path ol a
tornado.-Then, all communities
in the vicinity of the t wister can
be warned of the tornado's
approach through normal
channels of communications, or
through special warning devic-
es. /
The Texas State depart
nient of Health has joined with
other slate and federal agencies
’.'‘•.Tnii nodical associations in
efforts aimed at disaster
preparedness. It is rcadv to go
inlo action in any emergency.
Il worse comes to worst.
and a tornado does strike a
community, the State Health
Department can provide vac-
cine, public health engineering,
medical emergency nursing
know how, and other vital
services, to stem the threat of
disease or further complica
tions while disaster relief is
underway.
One. of the best examples
of public health action following
a highly destructive tornado
occurred in Lubbock, four years
ago.
Although storm warnings
were* in effect, the tornado
which actually hit the city
appeared out of nowhere
forming just alcove the
downtown section at 10 p.m.
One of the* first things knocked
out was the emergency
warning system.
With much of Lubbock's
communication system knocked
out, the health ^department
staff and other city personnel
were- on their own in following
the- emergency procedures that
had Iceen established in
advance. Vaccines and other
medical supplies were dug out
ol the demolished health
department building for trails
fer to an emergency clinic
State Health Department
engineers and other personnel
arrived on the scene early tin
next morning. Food and drug
investigators were assigned to
Lubbock immediately arid
within a week had disposed of
all spoiled foods and drugs. A
large supply of tetanus vaccine
was sent by the Health
Department laboratories Rap
id insect control activities were.,
vital because of the large
amount ol ram.
As in all similar disasters,
the olie great lesson learned
was the value of being
prepared.
