Home My WebLink AboutThe Lucknow Sentinel, 1989-04-05, Page 3ApriIl 7 has been marked Tornado Awareness Day and the Ministry of the Solicitor General has the followiug protec- tive measures residents should take. Weather Watches and Warnings Environment Canada issues weather watches and warnings whey anticipated weather poses a threat to public safety. This information is relayed to the public by radio and television. A severe weather watch is issued up to six hours in advance to alert the general public that, for a specified portion of On- tario, there is a high potential for dangerous thunderstorm weather, which may be accompanied by a tornado. - A severe weather warning is issued to alert the public that severe thunderstorms or tornadoes are imminent in the warning area — ie, a severe thunderstorm is in pro- gress or expected to occur within two hours. Tornado Safety Hints A personal tornado awareness program should include: -being aware of the weather, knowing the radio or television stations which broad- cast up-to-the-minute weather information -knowing the name by which Environment s Canada refers to your forecast region when they issue weather forecasts. -reviewing your plans of action. Whena tornado threatens 1. Stay away from windows, doors and out- side walls. Protect you head. 2. For maximum safety, go down to the basement or seek shelter under a stairway or sturdy table, or in a closet. 3. Try to reach the centre of the house or the side away frorn the storm. 4. Avoid buildings with large areas of un- supported roof, including arenas, barns or supermarkets. Iff caught in such a building, seek out the lowest floor, an in- side hallway or small interior windowless room, or get under something sturdy. 5. If caught in the open, try to determine the tornado's direction of travel and move at right angles to it. If you cannot avoid the storm, find a ditch, ravine or other depres- sion and lie flat. Do not remain in your car. Many people have been killed trying to ride out a tornado in their car. 6. If no shelter can be found, hang on to the base of a small tree or shrub. 7. Remember that damaged and weakened structures, fallen debris, downed hydro wires, and gas leaks are potential dangers after a storm has passed. ARTICLE NO. 2 This month, I'd like to talk about some BASIC FACTS. Firstly, A.I.D.S. is an acronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. .- Acquired - refers to .the fact that people normally have an intact immune system. However, once infected with H.I.V. (Human Immuno -deficiency Virus), it ap- pears that the immune system gradually breaks down. A.I.D.S. is not an inherited or genetic condition. Immune deficiency - refers to the fact that the infected individual's immune system - the body's defense, is gradually weakened or destroyed. Thus, the infected person becomes vulnerable to serious in- fections that can be fatal. Syndrome - refers to the fact that the disease results in a recognizable set of head problems 'which msually occur together. "A.I.D.S:" is .really the term .used. .:to denote the final, fatal. stage of the disease caused by H.I.V. infection. Befpre.a person progresses to "full-blown A.I.D.S." they generally have passed through 'several other stages first. •These inay include : (1) Initial H.I.V. infection, often with no signs or symptoms. The 4nfected in- dividual may look and feel well. (2) Persistent generalized lym- phadenopathy (PGL) presents when the lymph glands in the neck, armpit and/or groin are swollen. (3) Generalized symptoms of varying degrees of severity and timing. These may include: drenching night sweats, fatigue, diarrhea, mild fever that may come and IDS INFO $y ote<en R-o-blrrson go, unplanned weight loss. (4) Neurolgieal disorders and dementia are very often seen in H.I.V. infected in- dividuals This includes such problems as depression, memory loss, impaired men- tal and motor functions, apathy, confusion, being unable to .think or speak, incon- tinence, spasms and blindness. Up until the final stage of H.I.V. infec- tion, "full-blown A.I.D.S.", the signs and symptoms tend to be general in nature and could easily be found in many other condi- tions. However, at this point the immune system is so weakened that it cannot fight off ,many infections that it normally dealt .with successfully. (5) -0 -Full -Blown A.LD.fi." is ,hallmarked 'by the contracting of .one or more, of these "opportunistic" :infections or.cancers,_the two most common being pneumocystis 'carinii pneumonia (PCP) and -Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) . Thus, it is not the A.I.D.S. virus itself that kills,.:but rather the opportunistic in- fections and rare cancers. Please watch ,for A.I.D.S. This Month - Article No. 3 in this newspaper.
