testimonies.
My journey
from a domestic background
to now here
is a testament
to the
dedication
and
hard work
I've put into this field.
I understand that my path
might seem unconventional to some.
However, the validity of my expertise isn't defined by my previous occupation but by the rigorous training, certifications, and practical experience I've accumulated in
11 years, 6 months, 4 days, 15 hours, 17 minutes, 36 seconds.
Let's focus on the facts and the science
rather than the narrative
of my personal journey
others created
for their own agenda(s),
most likely.
That would be their
misleads, distractions and defamation attacks.
God is watching.
If there are any concerns
about my qualifications
or
the evidence I present on the blog,
I encourage you to refer to my documented credentials and any areas where my analyses have been pivotal.
Please, let's keep this discussion
professional and centered
on the evidence at hand
rather than personal biases or stereotypes.
I've learned that fire doesn't care about one's resume;
it respects only those who understand its behavior.
And I've spent years learning that language, whether sizzling in the kitchen or at a fire scene.
I appreciate the opportunity
to clarify any doubts about my role here.
However, I would like to remind everyone that my presence here is not by chance but by merit.
Let's not let preconceptions cloud one's judgment when we're dealing with matters
of public safety and scientific integrity.
Now, shall we move to the critical issues at hand?
We have pressing matters regarding fire safety protocols, suppression technologies, and the implications for policy that require our collective attention and expertise in 2025.
I earned my place at the table.
Time for you all to recognize it.
Fire techniques have significantly changed over the years, combining traditional methods with advanced scientific approaches to determine the origin, cause, and circumstances of fires.
I am very advanced and know more than I speak.
I will share to all to always show concern and or question the following on Wildland Fires in your area besides my lingo of paying attention to
"Fire Origin, Fire Progression, and Fire Burn Scars."
I’m here to share with you not just the science of fire but also the art of seeing beyond the ashes.
I've been called 'too analytic,'
and maybe I am.
But in this field, every detail matters.
Every speck of ash tells a story
if you're willing to listen.
I've also been described as
'empathetically warm' and 'emotional.'
That's because behind every fire, there are people—lives changed, memories lost or saved. Understanding that human element isn't just part of the job; it's the heart of it.
And tenacity?
Yes, I have that in spades.
Fires don’t give up; they consume until nothing's left unless we fight back with everything we've got.
My journey has taught me to never stop learning, questioning, or caring.
From my kitchen to crime scenes, I've brought that same deep tenacity, ensuring no detail is overlooked, no story left untold.
So when you think of
Joy A. Collura,
remember this:
I'm the woman who looks at ruins and sees a narrative, who feels the weight of each case
with empathy
but never lets emotion cloud the science.
I am here to teach you, to learn with you, and to remind you that in this all,
your heart and your mind
must work in unison.
In 2024,
I firmly refused
to evacuate.
This season,
in the Fire Season 2025,
I reached out to my legal team to learn
what's new in law, codes, and ordinances...
because with my poor health- it would be a hassle to evacuate with all my medical going ons and machines
...I am just resting and walking indoors nowadays and sometimes outside.
I currently
as my PCP requested Fall 2024
I need to find an oncologist that specializes in some specific current health concern areas and my Brain Surgeon just retired, Fall 2024,
so looking for a new Brain Surgeon in 2025.
I am busy doing that. I want to be left alone. The agencies know I will only allow them on my property
with warrant in hand.
I keep a tight surveillance to my property
from air to ground.
I am almost fully equipped for Fire Season 2025.
I am all set up on the property for most all emergency situations.
I respectfully ask that we focus on the data and the methodologies presented.
My background has equipped me with a unique perspective on fire safety, ensuring I approach every case with meticulous attention to detail.
This blog and all these documents are not merely papers; they are the culmination of fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and peer-reviewed research.
If there's a specific point
you'd like to contest,
I'm here to discuss it based on evidence
not your ill perceptions.
I want to give a special

"Junk Journaling"'
which was to be in published mode by Summer 2025
but it all depends how much
the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
does early on...I may publish it Fall 2025 instead.
some posts I left on X:
DAN GOOKIN- my super hero:
"Oath of Office" explained by X's Grok2.0:
some archival posts on this blog:
Coeur d'Alene City Wildland Fire History has had minimal activity over the decades yet from their town up the mountains to the Shoshone Range appx 35 miles- has extensive Wildland Fire History- That should be for the United States Forest Service to build fuel breaks and change the way they fight fire...let's look back at this meeting:
Gookin's face says a lot:
taking notes...
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I filed complaint on C WOOD based on this dialogue because DAN GOOKIN's political preference has zip to do with protecting peoples rights and nor is it professional and then she adds DAN GOOKIN questions authority.
That should be removed and or complaint filed so I did file a formal complaint- who is she- they signed the same oath to office- so all I saw was a concerned Council Member there for "we, the people" and the rights of the people not a man questioning authority.
She needs to go to Word Salad class. Or speak more to Jesus. I disliked her possible tones throughout the video.
She also goes on to make sure on record she notes she does not view the world the same as DAN GOOKIN.
What world are you in? Seems I heard from C WOOD only about the first responders versus all of "we, the people" ??? Care to explain C WOOD? Possibly a biased view? I am going by your long career history with law enforcement.
Remember, the oath of office you signed?
DAN GOOKIN is quite comical in his likely poker faces- hee hee -- C WOOD may have to relook this over because with her work history and her mentioning she sees it from the FIRST RESPONDER side versus WE, THE PEOPLE---that comes off likely biased ??? you let me know...Who is this woman to be able to use public time to base her opinions that lead to being misinformed as DAN GOOKIN was stating concerns and she possibly misperceived it as questions authority??? Our world today...lacks respect indeed.
Listen to GOOKIN: https://youtu.be/rApz8q7S61Q?t=4444
I do not know the Mayor but he seems to have prior Council Member time but possibly like a couple months fresh into the Mayor area---??? I will have to see how long he has been Mayor but seems fresh to the plate, it is my first time seeing video-
They would not want me in charge of safety on these Hi Rise buildings:https://youtu.be/rApz8q7S61Q?t=4473
I would have any residential or commercial folks working or residing in all the buildings in my city if I ran it... sign a release of liability waiver above anything they as the city knew they are incapable to successfully do-
...why is a leader saying the video best tells the story better than he could--- I hope I never work next to that fella to say this juvenile video served as better to explain than a leadership voice to all these adults:https://youtu.be/rApz8q7S61Q?t=4473 ???
I do not want to go into more details but the video I felt
C WOOD was unprofessional here and there--- one was with MILLER and the whole area about learning things for the first time- the liaison topic- https://youtu.be/rApz8q7S61Q?t=9167
that was when I strongly felt the Mayor may had once been a Council Member and is a few months new in the role because my suggestion to MILLER is request a public record / FOIA for the text and email threads between C WOODS and the Mayor to maybe get better clarity on the topic vs. having to learn in a public meeting like you saw. I just requested the records. That is getting an unbiased look into the matter, right?
I felt C WOOD was possibly disrespectful in a possible slight tone towards you on this part: https://youtu.be/rApz8q7S61Q?t=9176
jurisdiction maps so you can have those entities make fuel breaks, get your Wildland Fire Chief to do this possibly tie in with USFS / BLM / PRIVATE:
DAN GOOKIN: this map below shows your city to have poor [severe] Air Quality so I would suggest if Pastor Paul is to be doing what he said he was...then focus to the property owners, both commercial and residential as well as any outdoor areas, that due to historically your zip code having a strong history in poor air quality and with the Smoke Factors and Chemicals used in the Fire Industry, it is best to evacuate yet if they decide not to- then should be just recognized by them staying, they waive any liability on the City, County, State, Federal entities to do their jobs and if any entity has to rescue you then at that point is when arrests or penalty fines or have them pay for how much it cost to rescue the folks and make sure they sign off a liability waiver because of the toxins of fire methods and that darn smoke and chemical stuff. I would say anyone bordering to image below- those people should be of concern.
One should wake up to actual fire origin and document, document, document air to ground and be proactive in your town and make yourself known and really pay attention what is the fire origin to their we fight fire with fire methods and pin it on a map to see HOW far from origin and watch what I call or actually Fire Leaders call and I adopted the nickname- "the big box" theory. Speaking of big box theory fires-- let me check in with my favorite people across Arizona on the Horton Fire.
So can you tell me the origin spot for this fire?
I know it but it's important you learn...
They need to be possibly firing it out sections more...too far apart
I am sure its the Feds running it...I usually can tell just looking at the smoke columns.
Probably that Game and Fish guy..hmm ...more than likely the Schwope fella ...Carl...by looking at the fire behavior.
...to answer you all the origin is 34.3755047, -111.0577265? or is it 34 22 15 6, -111 03 32 4? hmmm...depends on who you trust for the origin...
I rarely document that area anymore because my blog partner loves fire...but anyone who is not possibly brainwashed or mesmerized by fire - you can see this is more than likely a Winter "milked" fire...where is the updated data as it says under investigation--- it is not hard to figure it out or do they want to even...How much of this image below is the fire origin or their 'we fight fire with fire' methods? Our world places too much trust possibly in the Government who is responsible for suppressing this fire...right?
oh yeah DAN GOOKIN- I got side tracked...your air quality map:
Thank you.

My time with Grok2.0:
Joy: Are there any known laws, rules, ordinances in Arizona or Congress Arizona when a Wildland Fire is in area and they assign evacuation status, can they force or arrest one if they refuse to evacuate in 2025?
Grok: In Arizona, the legal framework for handling evacuations during wildland fires involves a combination of state laws, local ordinances, and the authority granted to emergency management officials.
Here's an overview based on available information up to January 03, 2025:
State Level: The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, along with local emergency services, can issue evacuation orders during wildfires.
While the state does not have a specific law that mandates forced evacuation, they can recommend or order evacuations under the state's emergency management statutes.
These are typically based on the "Ready, Set, Go!" program which includes "GO" as an immediate evacuation order due to life-threatening danger. Refusal to evacuate when an order is given does not automatically lead to arrest, but it can lead to legal consequences if the individual's actions interfere with emergency operations or if they require rescue. For instance, if someone ignores an evacuation order and subsequently needs rescuing, they could face charges related to interfering with emergency operations or be liable for costs associated with their rescue.
Local Level: Local jurisdictions like Scottsdale or Phoenix might have specific ordinances or emergency plans that give local law enforcement the authority to enforce evacuation orders more stringently. However, there's no explicit mention in the provided search results of laws allowing for forced evacuations or arrests solely based on refusal to evacuate.
Congress (Arizona) does not refer to a legislative body in this context but rather the town of Congress, Arizona. For small communities like Congress, the enforcement of evacuation orders would typically fall under Yavapai County's emergency management protocols, which would follow state guidelines but could have local nuances.
From the web results: Arizona Emergency Information Network underlines the "Ready, Set, Go!" evacuation program, where "GO" signifies immediate evacuation due to life-threatening danger. It emphasizes that if you choose to ignore this advisement, you must understand that emergency services may not be able to assist you further. However, it does not specify forced evacuation or arrests for non-compliance.
Arizona Wildfires articles mention that authorities can order evacuations when fires threaten communities but do not explicitly state that individuals can be arrested for non-compliance.
Instead, they stress the importance of heeding evacuation orders for safety reasons.
In summary, while there are no laws explicitly allowing for arrests solely for refusing to evacuate during a wildfire in Arizona, ignoring evacuation orders can lead to legal issues if it results in interference with emergency operations or necessitates rescue efforts.
The approach seems to be more about encouraging compliance for safety rather than enforcing it through arrests.
However, this interpretation can be subject to change with new legislation or local ordinances not covered in the provided information sources. Yavapai County protocols 25 web pages
Yavapai County has established protocols for handling wildland fire evacuations and related fire management activities. Here's a detailed look based on the information available: Evacuation Protocols: Ready, Set, Go! Program: This is a system Yavapai County uses to educate residents about preparing for wildfires. The stages are: READY: Prepare in advance by creating defensible space, having an evacuation plan, and assembling emergency supplies. SET: Be aware that a fire is in your area. This is the time to pack your vehicle with your emergency items, stay informed, and be ready to leave at a moment's notice. GO: Immediate evacuation is ordered due to imminent threat. Residents should leave immediately, following designated evacuation routes. Evacuation Orders: When a "GO" order is issued, it's considered mandatory. Although not explicitly stated that residents can be forced to evacuate or arrested for refusal, the emphasis is on the urgency and danger of the situation.
Genasys Protect: Yavapai County uses this system for zoning evacuations. Each zone has a unique identifier starting with "YCU" followed by numbers, allowing for precise evacuation orders. Residents can find their zone by visiting www.protect.genasys.com or using the Genasys Protect app. Emergency Alerts: The county utilizes various methods to communicate evacuation orders, including radio, TV, CodeRED®, weather radio, law enforcement, and door-to-door notifications.
Fire Restrictions and Management:
Fire Restrictions: Yavapai County implements fire restrictions based on conditions. For example, Stage 1 Fire Restrictions were in place as of June 6, 2024, which include prohibitions on open fires, certain smoking activities, and the use of fireworks.
Firewise Communities: The county promotes the Firewise USA® initiative, encouraging residents to reduce wildfire risk around their properties through landscaping, home hardening, and community preparedness.
Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP): This plan identifies and prioritizes areas for risk reduction treatments and educates on reducing the ignitability of structures.
Additional Resources:
Yavapai Firewise: Offers extensive resources on how to prepare homes and properties for wildfires, including creating defensible space and understanding local fire risks.
Emergency Management: The Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) provides information, alerts, and resources for both preparing for and responding to wildfires.
Public Meetings: For significant fires like the Horton Fire, public meetings are held to update residents and discuss safety measures.

These protocols and resources aim to ensure that residents are prepared, informed, and able to respond effectively to wildfire threats in Yavapai County.
Joy: In the Yavapai County protocol, can the Yavapai County Sheriff make arrests in 2025 if you refuse to evacuate?
Based on the information available up to January 03, 2025, here's the situation regarding the Yavapai County Sheriff's arrest powers in relation to evacuation refusals during wildfires:
Arrest Powers: The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) has the authority to enforce laws and maintain public safety.
However, there is no explicit mention in the provided information of a law or ordinance that allows for arrests solely for refusing to evacuate during a wildfire evacuation order in 2025.
Legal Implications of Refusal: While the "GO" order under the "Ready, Set, Go!" program signifies an immediate and mandatory evacuation due to imminent threat, the YCSO can take action under various scenarios:
Interference with Emergency Operations: If your refusal to evacuate interferes with emergency operations, such as preventing first responders from doing their job or blocking emergency routes, you could be arrested for obstructing emergency services or related charges.
Requiring Rescue: Should you refuse to evacuate and subsequently require rescue, you might face charges for the costs incurred or for endangering emergency personnel. However, this is not an arrest for non-evacuation but for the consequences of that action.
Public Safety and Legal Discretion: The Sheriff's Office might use discretion in extreme circumstances to ensure public safety, potentially including detaining individuals who pose a significant risk to themselves or others by not evacuating, but this would be under broader legal justifications like public endangerment or failure to comply with an order if it's framed as a legal directive under emergency powers.
No Explicit Arrest for Non-Evacuation: The information does not indicate that there's a law allowing for direct arrests for simply choosing not to evacuate. The focus seems to be on encouraging voluntary compliance for safety reasons rather than enforcing evacuation through arrests. Sources: Yavapai County Sheriff's Office - www.ycsoaz.gov Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management - www.yavapaiready.gov
In summary, while the Yavapai County Sheriff has broad powers to maintain public safety, there isn't evidence from the available data that they can arrest someone solely for not evacuating during a wildfire in 2025.
However, actions that result from not evacuating, like requiring emergency response or obstructing operations, might lead to legal consequences.
Legal basis for emergency powers
25 web pages
The legal basis for emergency powers in the United States and various jurisdictions involves a complex interplay of constitutional provisions, statutory laws, and judicial interpretations.
Here's an overview based on the related web results provided: United States Federal Level: National Emergencies Act (NEA): Enacted in 1976, this law (50 U.S.C. § 1601–1651) formalizes the emergency powers of the President. It allows the President to declare a national emergency, thereby activating over 130 statutory powers that can be used to address crises. The Act requires the President to specify which powers are being activated and to notify Congress. Congress can terminate an emergency declaration with a joint resolution.
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA): Provides broad authority to regulate financial and commercial transactions to deal with threats from outside the U.S., invoked alongside the National Emergencies Act.
Constitutional Provisions: While the U.S. Constitution doesn't explicitly grant emergency powers, it's interpreted through the President's roles as Commander in Chief and through provisions like the suspension of habeas corpus in times of rebellion or invasion. Courts have historically validated some emergency actions under these interpretations, like in Korematsu v. United States, where wartime emergency justified internment. Statutory Powers: Over 120 statutory provisions become available upon a national emergency declaration, covering areas like deploying troops, controlling communications, and managing resources. State and Local Level: Police Powers: States possess broad "police powers" for protecting public health, safety, and welfare, which extend to emergency situations. This includes powers to quarantine, mandate vaccinations, or restrict movement. Judicial precedents like Jacobson v. Massachusetts uphold state actions under these powers. State Emergency Management Acts: Each state has laws like the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act in Ontario, Canada, which have counterparts in U.S. states, allowing for declarations of state emergencies and granting governors or local officials certain powers to manage crises. These laws set conditions for declaring emergencies and outline the powers that can be exercised, such as controlling travel or requisitioning property. General Considerations: Constitutional and Statutory Checks: Emergency powers are subject to checks by Congress (at the federal level) or state legislatures, which can end emergencies through legislative action. Courts also review emergency actions for constitutionality, ensuring they do not infringe on fundamental rights beyond what is necessary for the emergency's resolution. Duration and Oversight: Emergency powers are typically designed to be temporary. Statutes like the NEA require periodic review or automatic expiration unless renewed. There's an increasing emphasis on legislative oversight to prevent abuse, with calls for reform to ensure these powers are not used indefinitely or for political ends. Judicial Review: The extent to which emergency powers can be exercised is subject to judicial scrutiny to ensure they align with constitutional limits and do not unduly infringe on civil liberties. In essence, the legal basis for emergency powers in the U.S. and similar jurisdictions rests on a combination of explicit statutory delegations, constitutional interpretation, and the inherent powers of state governments to protect public welfare, all under the watchful eyes of legislative and judicial oversight. State emergency powers comparison 25 web pages Comparing state emergency powers across the United States reveals significant variation in how governors and state legislatures manage emergencies.
Here's an in-depth look based on the provided web results:
General Overview:
Legal Basis: Each state has its own set of laws and statutes that govern emergency declarations, the powers available to the executive during such declarations, and the mechanisms for oversight or termination of these powers. Purpose: States often declare emergencies to respond to natural disasters, public health crises, or other threats to public safety. The powers are intended to allow for swift action when legislative processes might be too slow. Key Aspects for Comparison: Declaration of Emergency: Authority: Governors typically have the authority to declare emergencies. Some states, like Arkansas, allow legislative bodies to declare emergencies as well.
Criteria: States define what constitutes an emergency differently, with some using broad language that includes public health, natural disasters, or civil unrest.
Duration and Extension:
Initial Term: The length of an initial emergency declaration varies. Some states have automatic expiration dates (e.g., Pennsylvania's 21 days), while others leave it open-ended until terminated.
Extension: Most states require legislative approval for extending an emergency beyond an initial period. Kansas, for example, requires legislative approval after 15 days for any extension.
Legislative Oversight: Veto Power: In states like Pennsylvania, the legislature can pass resolutions to extend or terminate an emergency without the governor's signature. Oversight Mechanisms: Some states score higher on oversight due to mechanisms like judicial review, legislative veto on specific orders, or requiring the governor to justify emergency actions to the legislature. Powers Granted:
Scope: Powers can include suspending laws, commandeering resources, controlling movement, or even altering state regulations.
Suspension of Laws: In 42 states, governors can suspend laws during emergencies, but this varies widely in scope and application.
Termination:
Who Can Terminate: Generally, the governor can terminate an emergency, but states like Louisiana allow termination with a majority vote in either legislative chamber.
Some states have laws for automatic termination unless renewed, providing a safeguard against indefinite emergency states.
Scoring and Rankings:
Maine Policy Institute Scorecard: This organization scores states based on several factors: Process of declaration, extension, and termination Time limits on declarations Post-emergency powers Ability to amend or suspend statutes Kansas and South Carolina rank high due to stringent legislative checks, while Vermont, Illinois, Ohio, and Hawaii rank low for giving governors broad, unchecked authority. Recent Changes: Legislative Reforms: In response to the use of emergency powers during the COVID-19 pandemic, states like Arkansas, Colorado, and Pennsylvania have passed laws increasing legislative oversight or limiting the duration of emergencies without legislative approval.
Examples:
Arizona: Requires legislative approval for extending beyond 30 days or declaring new emergencies based on previous conditions.
Washington: Ranked poorly for oversight due to broad gubernatorial powers with little legislative check. Sources: Maine Policy Institute for state-by-state comparisons and scoring. Ballotpedia for changes in state laws regarding emergency powers in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Federal emergency powers
15 posts 25 web pages
Federal emergency powers in the United States are derived from a combination of constitutional provisions, statutes, and executive actions.
Here's a comprehensive overview based on the provided web results:
Legal Foundations:
Constitution: While the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly grant emergency powers, they're often inferred from the President's roles as Commander in Chief (Article II, Section 2) and from the War Powers. The Suspension Clause (Article I, Section 9) also allows for the suspension of habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion. National Emergencies Act (NEA) (50 U.S.C. § 1601–1651): Enacted in 1976 to formalize and regulate the use of emergency powers by the President. It allows the President to declare a national emergency, unlocking over 130 statutory powers. These include: Deploying troops domestically under certain conditions. Controlling communications. Seizing property related to national security. Managing various economic and financial activities. Congressional Oversight: Congress can terminate a national emergency with a joint resolution that becomes law after presidential signature or a congressional override of a veto. International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. § 1701–1707): Grants the President powers to manage international economic threats, including freezing assets, imposing sanctions, and regulating transactions involving foreign entities. Other Statutory Powers: Public Health Service Act: Allows for public health emergencies, enabling measures like quarantine and medical countermeasures distribution. Stafford Act: Governs federal disaster response and recovery, providing for emergency declarations and major disaster declarations to access federal resources. Federal Power Act: Includes provisions for emergency energy management. Mechanisms and Procedures: Declaration Process: The President issues a proclamation declaring a national emergency, which must be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to Congress. The emergency declaration activates specific statutory powers, which are detailed in the declaration or subsequent executive orders. Duration and Termination: Emergencies are supposed to be temporary, but the NEA allows for renewals if the President annually notifies Congress of the emergency's continuation. Congress can terminate an emergency at any point with a joint resolution. Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs): These are pre-drafted executive orders or directives for use in crises, including provisions for martial law, though their exact contents are highly classified. Historical and Contemporary Use: Historical: Powers have been invoked for various reasons, from the Civil War (Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus) to WWII (Japanese internment under Executive Order 9066). Contemporary: Recent declarations include responses to pandemics (like COVID-19), border security, and cybersecurity threats. For instance, President Trump's 2019 emergency declaration to fund border wall construction was highly controversial. Checks and Balances: Congressional Role: Besides termination, Congress can legislate to limit or modify emergency powers, though this requires overcoming political hurdles. Judicial Review: Courts can review the legality of actions taken under emergency powers, especially regarding civil liberties. Criticism and Reform Efforts: There's significant concern over the breadth and potential abuse of these powers, leading to calls for reform to enhance Congressional oversight and limit the duration and scope of emergency declarations. In summary, federal emergency powers are broad but come with procedural requirements for declaration, operation, and termination, designed to balance swift executive action with legislative and judicial oversight. State vs. Federal emergency powers 25 web pages 6 posts The comparison between state and federal emergency powers in the United States involves understanding the distinct roles, legal bases, and applications of these powers. Here's a detailed comparison based on the provided web results: Legal Basis: Federal Powers: Constitutional Authority: While not explicitly granted in the Constitution, federal emergency powers are derived from various clauses, particularly the President's roles as Commander in Chief and through the War Powers. Statutory Authority: Key legislation like the National Emergencies Act (NEA), International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and the Stafford Act provide the President with extensive powers during emergencies. These laws define how emergencies can be declared, extended, and terminated.
State Powers:
Constitutional Authority: States have inherent "police powers" to protect public health, safety, and welfare, which include emergency responses.
State Statutes: Each state has its own laws governing emergency declarations, giving governors or state legislatures the power to declare emergencies. These statutes vary widely in terms of what triggers an emergency, the powers granted, and oversight mechanisms.
Scope and Application:
Federal Powers:
National Scope:
Federal powers can apply nationwide or be targeted at specific issues like public health, national security, or economic stability.
Examples: Declaring national emergencies for pandemics, terrorism, or international economic threats. Powers include controlling communications, seizing property, deploying military forces, and imposing sanctions.
State Powers:
Local/Geographic Scope: Generally limited to the state's boundaries, though states can coordinate across state lines through compacts.
Examples: Addressing natural disasters, public health crises, or civil unrest within the state. Powers might include ordering evacuations, mandating vaccinations, or closing businesses.
Declaration and Termination:
Federal: The President can unilaterally declare a national emergency under the NEA, though Congress can terminate it with a joint resolution. Emergencies must be periodically renewed or automatically expire. The President specifies which powers are being activated.
State: Governors typically have the authority to declare emergencies, sometimes with legislative involvement. The criteria, duration, and termination processes vary by state. Some states require legislative approval for extending emergencies beyond a certain period or for specific actions like suspending laws.
Checks and Balances:
Federal: Congressional oversight is critical; Congress can pass laws to modify or restrict emergency powers. Judicial review can also check the executive's use of these powers. The NEA was enacted to ensure emergencies are not indefinite and to provide a legal framework for their use and termination. State: States have various oversight mechanisms. Some require legislative approval for extending emergencies, and there can be judicial review if actions infringe on rights. Post-COVID-19, many states have reformed their laws to enhance legislative checks or limit gubernatorial power during emergencies. Interplay Between Federal and State: Federal Preemption: In some cases, federal law might preempt state actions, especially when dealing with interstate commerce or national defense. Cooperation: Federal and state governments often work in tandem during crises, with states requesting federal assistance under acts like the Stafford Act, but states retain primary responsibility for public health and safety within their borders. Recent Examples and Trends: COVID-19: Highlighted the balance and sometimes tension between state and federal powers, with states implementing their own health measures while navigating federal guidance and resources. Legislative Reforms: In response to perceived overreach or inadequate response during crises, both federal and state lawmakers have looked to reform emergency powers, aiming for more accountability and defined scope. In summary, while both levels of government have significant emergency powers, they differ in scope, application, and oversight. Federal powers are broad but subject to Congressional and judicial checks, whereas state powers are more localized, with a direct impact on daily life but also subject to varying degrees of legislative oversight depending on the state.
Joy:I just want to know my own legal rights because I am tied to medical machines that I can stay home to ensure my surveillance capture their emergency management strategies and tactics for my land. I am a long time pioneer person with quality sources to use my electrical medical machines if the electric and water are turned off and I also own fire nomex and fire masks and gear to be prepared on my land and I own a fire shelter as well. I have a great defensible space around my land. I just do not want to be bullied in 2025 to leave my land. My healthcare team sent a formal form what machines I use to the electric company so that if they plan to turn electric off they will give me ample time. I also have smoke masks to protect me. I just wonder can they drop slurry drop on my property knowing I am home. They all know, town, county, state and federal in 2024. I am working on getting some new oncologist and brain surgeon as they retired and I know my health limitations and I am better to remain home then to leave as a whistleblower I think what is safest for my life and livelihood and staying home is the proper way being where my home is. It's in structure protection area of value.

Grok: Given your situation, here's a detailed look at your legal rights and considerations regarding emergency management, particularly in the context of wildland fires and utility shutoffs:
Utility Services During Emergencies:
Notification and Priority: Since your healthcare team has informed your electric company about your dependency on medical devices, you should be on a priority list for notification and potentially for power restoration. [I AM] Many utility companies have programs like the Medical Baseline Program (e.g., in California), which aims to provide extended notice before power shutoffs and prioritize restoration for those with medical needs.
Your situation should fall under such provisions, ensuring you get ample warning. [It does.]
Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS): Even with these programs, during extreme conditions like wildfire threats, utility companies might still need to shut off power for safety reasons. However, the expectation is that this would be done with significant notice, especially for medically dependent customers.
Evacuation Orders:
Mandatory vs. Voluntary:
If an evacuation order is issued, understanding whether it's mandatory or voluntary is crucial. Mandatory orders suggest a significant threat, but your situation might allow for negotiation or special considerations due to your medical condition and preparation.
Legal Right to Stay: There isn't a universal law stating you can be forced to evacuate your home.
However:
Interference: If staying home interferes with emergency management strategies or puts you or emergency personnel at risk, authorities might take action based on public safety concerns.
Rescue Operations: If you refuse to evacuate and later require rescue, you might be liable for the costs or face legal consequences for endangering emergency services. Your Preparedness: Your preparation with fire nomex, masks, gear, and a fire shelter, along with having a defensible space, strengthens your case for staying. [Indeed.]
However, these preparations should be communicated to emergency services so they are aware of your capabilities and intentions. [They know]
Use of Fire Retardants:
Slurry Drops: Regarding the use of fire retardants like slurry on your property:
Legal Concerns: There's no explicit law stating you can't be on your property when slurry is dropped, but: Safety: Firefighting agencies prioritize human life. If they know you're on the property, they might avoid using chemicals that could harm you, but in extreme situations, they might proceed if they believe it's necessary to save structures or other lives.
Liability: Agencies generally try to minimize impacts on private property, but in emergencies, the priority is firefighting. If your health is compromised by such actions, there could be grounds for legal action or compensation, though this typically requires proving negligence.
Notification: Since local, county, state, and possibly federal authorities are aware of your situation, they should coordinate any actions like slurry drops with your known presence, potentially altering their strategy to ensure your safety.
Health and Emergency Management:
Medical Needs: Your health condition and medical equipment needs should be communicated clearly to all involved parties. This might influence how emergency strategies are applied around your property. Your status as a whistleblower could be relevant if you believe your safety or rights are being overlooked.
Structure Protection: Being in a designated structure protection area means your home might have additional firefighting resources allocated to it, which should be part of your communication with emergency services.
Actions to Take:
Communicate: Continuously update your situation with emergency services, utility companies, and healthcare providers.
Legal Consultation: Consider consulting with a lawyer specializing in emergency management or civil rights to understand your specific legal standing better, especially concerning the use of fire retardants and your right to stay.[Done.]
Documentation: Keep detailed records of all communications with authorities, your preparations, and any incidents related to emergency responses on your property.[Always do]
In essence, while emergency services have broad powers during crises, your preparation, communication, and legal rights concerning medical dependency should afford you some level of protection and negotiation in staying on your land safely.
Joy: I documented 2024 well
25 web pages
Given the context you've provided, here's how you might approach understanding and preparing for potential emergency management strategies in 2025, especially in a town with no prior significant wildland fire history:
Analyzing 2024 Actions:
Documentation: You've already taken an important step by documenting the events of 2024, especially the unnecessary power shutoffs. This documentation can be vital in discussions with utility providers, local government, and emergency services for accountability and planning.
Understanding Motives: If the power shutoffs were not fire-related, consider why they occurred. Were they due to infrastructure issues, policy changes, or other reasons? Understanding this might help predict future actions. Preparing for 2025:
Communication with Local Authorities:
Meetings: Request or attend public meetings where emergency management strategies are discussed. Share your documentation and express your concerns directly to decision-makers.
Formal Requests: Write formal letters or emails to the town's emergency management office, utility companies, and local government representatives, detailing your situation, the impact of past actions, and requesting clarity on future plans.
Legal and Advocacy Support:
Legal Advice: Consult with a lawyer to understand your rights further, especially if you believe the 2024 actions were unjustified or if you anticipate similar issues in 2025. [Done.]
They can help you navigate local ordinances, utility regulations, and potential legal actions.
Advocacy Groups: Look for local or state advocacy groups focused on utility rights, disability rights (due to your medical equipment needs), or emergency preparedness. These groups can offer support, resources, or even intervene on your behalf.
Utility Dependency Plan:
Medical Notification: Ensure your status as medically dependent is well-known and documented with the utility provider. [Done and Verified with Medical Team and Utilities] If not already, enroll in any medical priority programs offered by your utility company. [Done.]
Backup Systems: Invest in or ensure you have backup power solutions like generators or battery systems that can sustain your medical equipment during outages.[Done.]
Emergency Preparedness:
Fire Preparedness: Even without a history, continue enhancing your defensible space,[Done daily.] maintain your fire gear, [Done.] and stay updated on fire safety practices. [Done.]
Communication: Have multiple communication channels (radios, satellite phones if possible) for updates from emergency services. [Done.]
Community Engagement:
Neighborhood Watch: Engage with neighbors to share information, perhaps forming or joining a community watch or preparedness group where you can share your insights and learn about collective strategies. [Done.]
Public Information: Use local forums, social media, or town hall meetings to educate others about the experiences of 2024, advocating for better emergency management practices. [Done.]
Monitoring and Reporting:
Stay Informed: Regularly check local government websites, emergency management social media channels, and community alerts for any new policies or plans.[Done. Not always easy to access with my system- it appears possibly systems shadow banned me the last time we paid for a professional review as a whistleblower]
Document and Report: Continue documenting any actions taken by authorities or utilities in 2025, especially if they seem unnecessary or disrupt your medical needs. [Done.]
Report these to relevant oversight bodies or media if needed.[The media is a joke- ELON MUSK's "X" site is better to get the facts out---the media should have told YHF13' and DONNA GORDON vs YCSO correctly but JOE DANA on a recorded call told us he has an editor but he knows about this concern.]
Health and Safety:
Medical Team: Keep your healthcare team updated on your situation, especially if there's a change in your medical condition or equipment needs.
They can sometimes provide additional advocacy or documentation to authorities.
In summary, your proactive approach in 2024 should inform your strategy for 2025.
By combining documentation, advocacy, communication, and preparedness, you can better anticipate and influence how emergency management strategies will affect you.
Grok: Remember, your unique situation as someone dependent on medical equipment gives you a compelling case for special consideration in emergency planning.
The experience of being "always under investigation" but never any followed up clarity or answers can be frustrating and confusing.
This situation might occur in various contexts, such as workplace issues, legal matters, or community concerns.
Here's how you might approach understanding and addressing this:
Understanding the Issue:
Investigation Fatigue: If you feel you're constantly under investigation without resolution, it might stem from systemic inefficiencies, lack of resources, or even deliberate obfuscation by those in charge.
Lack of Transparency: Often, the reasons for investigations and the outcomes are not clearly communicated, leading to a sense of being in limbo.
Potential Reasons:
Bureaucracy: Large organizations or government entities might have slow processes where investigations drag on without clear conclusions.
Legal Strategy: In legal contexts, avoiding clear answers can sometimes be a tactic to delay or deter further action.
Resource Constraints: Lack of personnel or funding to thoroughly investigate and follow up might lead to incomplete or abandoned investigations.
Steps to Address the Issue:
Documentation:
Keep Records: Document all interactions related to these investigations, including dates, persons involved, what was discussed, and any promises or outcomes mentioned. This can be crucial for accountability.
Communication:
Direct Questions: When involved in discussions about investigations, ask direct, specific questions about the status, expected outcomes, and timelines.
Formal Requests: Write formal letters or emails requesting updates or clarifications. This creates a paper trail and can sometimes prompt action.
Seek Clarity:
Meetings: Request meetings with those in charge to discuss the progress or lack thereof. Bring your documentation to these meetings.
Freedom of Information: If dealing with public entities, consider filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request or equivalent in your jurisdiction for relevant documents.
Legal or Professional Help:
Legal Counsel: If this involves legal matters or rights, consulting with a lawyer can provide guidance on how to press for answers or potentially sue for negligence or rights violations.
Ombudsman or Advocate: Many organizations or public services have ombudsmen or advocacy groups that can intervene on your behalf.
Escalation:
Higher Authorities: If internal channels fail, escalate the issue to higher authorities within the organization or to external bodies like regulatory agencies or elected officials.
Media: In extreme cases, going public with your story can pressure entities to act, though this should be considered carefully due to potential repercussions.
Community or Peer Support:
Networking: If it's a community-wide issue, organizing with others in similar situations can increase pressure for resolution.
Support Groups: There might be support or advocacy groups for those in your situation, offering advice, moral support, or collective action strategies.
Self-Advocacy:
Know Your Rights: Understanding your legal rights in whatever context the investigations occur can empower you to demand clarity or push back against undue investigations.
Mental Health:
Stress Management: The ongoing nature of investigations without closure can be mentally taxing. Consider professional mental health support to manage the stress and anxiety this might cause.
General Advice:
Persistence: Often, getting clarity or resolution requires persistent effort. Don't give up easily, but also recognize when to seek help or change strategy.
Professionalism: Maintain professionalism in all communications to keep your position strong. Remember, while you might not control the pace or outcome of investigations, you can control your response, documentation, and advocacy efforts.
If you feel your rights or well-being are being compromised, seeking legal or professional advocacy is a critical step.
Joy: Currently reaching legal team for more in depth discussion- Medical area already completed with Utilities.
I know there might be a few of you
who've been giving me the side-eye,
thinking,
'How did this housewife end up teaching us about fire?'
Well, let me tell you, I've faced more flames in my kitchen than you've probably seen at any fire scene;
sizzle, sizzle, bay' bee... kidding
and I'm still standing here, aren't I?
But in all seriousness,
to those who breathe fire out of skepticism,
I say this:
I've learned that the best way to put out those flames is with the truth and transparency and integrity with God.
Truth is backed by proper certifications, files, and a relentless passion for uncovering what really happened.
I am doing just that and then some.
I might come from the kitchen,
but I've brought the heat to the fire investigation world, huh.
So, if you're looking to challenge me, just remember,
I've already been through the fire and back. And guess what? I've got the scars to prove it, metaphorically speaking, of course, and physically,
as I was brutally assaulted obtaining records in Boise Idaho, July 2022.
But here's the beauty of it all - it doesn't care where you come from; it cares about where you're going.
And I'm going places, with or without the side-eye folks. So, let's turn skeptics into colleagues, because we all have a lot to learn from each other even C WOOD could learn a thing or two new.
Every day is a chance to prove the doubters wrong. Let's keep burning bright with knowledge, shall we?

in your town May 18, 2021...
so when it comes to Wildland Fire Safety...
and our rights
as we, the people
yeah, I am here for ya.
I also know people in Idaho
who can help out.
We already started the process on our end and
Idaho people in the right spots know about your concern.
Something C WOOD could have done for you but the Arizona Desert Walker did...
she was too focused and possibly biased to the first responders views then ours.
Please pray all through the day...
I reached the right people yet it keeps me keeping quiet to make this successful...
I did try to get one area in Idaho
to help but they seem
to not to want to touch
controversial topics...
who made it controversial???
it is documented facts. right.
that hospital will never forget him because it was a horrific health path- horrific is understatement.
He sent that message praising Jesus always - and you know what - we all matter, C WOOD.
May 18, 2021 he passed on and he knew where he was going ...with Jesus...to Heaven.
