His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

And it's designed to help locals because there's going to be a huge effort needed to clear out all the different household waste — obviously, the ash and the burned-out materials from these communities,\" Gallagher said. \"And it's just it's going to be very costly to deal not only with the removal but then also ensuring that those things are treated properly and disposed of properly. And so we want to ensure that we help the locals with that cost and that ultimately we're able to do that as quickly as possible as well, so that people can begin the process of rebuilding infrastructure, rebuilding homes and businesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property taxes were due Monday, but now property values need to be re-evaluated for the thousands who lost their homes. Gallagher said AB 42 is designed to help Butte County deal with the thinner tax base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"AB 42 is really geared at tax stabilization,\" he said. \"So if you could imagine for a moment that the city or town that you live in is completely gone and completely wiped out.

And it's designed to help locals because there's going to be a huge effort needed to clear out all the different household waste — obviously, the ash and the burned-out materials from these communities,\" Gallagher said. \"And it's just it's going to be very costly to deal not only with the removal but then also ensuring that those things are treated properly and disposed of properly. And so we want to ensure that we help the locals with that cost and that ultimately we're able to do that as quickly as possible as well, so that people can begin the process of rebuilding infrastructure, rebuilding homes and businesses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Property taxes were due Monday, but now property values need to be re-evaluated for the thousands who lost their homes. Gallagher said AB 42 is designed to help Butte County deal with the thinner tax base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"AB 42 is really geared at tax stabilization,\" he said. \"So if you could imagine for a moment that the city or town that you live in is completely gone and completely wiped out.

The utility was also required to have its employees -- even top executives -- perform a total of 10,000 hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson's conditions also included five years of probation, a period during which, according to sentencing documents, \"PG&E shall not commit another federal, state, or local crime.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In approaching Butte County about the Honey Fire charges, Ramsey said the company's lawyers \"first tried to convince us that we didn’t have the evidence to do a criminal filing.

But, according to Honea, no system is perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want people to have a false sense of security or false belief that there is a perfect solution to every situation and that you can guarantee with 100 percent certainty that one particular system is going to work every time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a lot of lessons to learn from the blaze, Honea said.

But, according to Honea, no system is perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t want people to have a false sense of security or false belief that there is a perfect solution to every situation and that you can guarantee with 100 percent certainty that one particular system is going to work every time,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There will be a lot of lessons to learn from the blaze, Honea said. And he hopes officials will get a chance to sit down soon and analyze their emergency response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now, local leaders are dealing with immediate issues, like finding \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710767/after-camp-fire-rebuilding-homes-is-hard-enough-jobs-and-businesses-are-harder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">work and homes\u003c/a> for thousands of Camp Fire refugees.

He's been the voice of emergency response, the person residents saw every evening on TV in the aftermath of the blaze, giving updates on evacuations and fatalities — and later, updates on the search for human remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butte County residents see him as the top cop who's always there. When new evacuations were ordered due to flooding, well after the Camp Fire was already contained, Honea was out on the street with first responders working to rescue people who were stranded in their cars. There's even been a \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/society/memes-make-butte-county-sheriff-internet-sensation/4723104/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of memes\u003c/a> posted online to honor the sheriff's work, some of them comparing him to Chuck Norris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for time with his family? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not much,\" he said. \"But I'm not complaining about that. My job is to respond to these things and to hopefully provide leadership to my community.\" Honea said he hasn't taken a day off since the blaze ignited, and he's looking forward to when he can spend time with his wife and daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710513/what-the-blaze-left-behind-an-aerial-view-of-the-camp-fire-one-month-later\">What the Blaze Left Behind: An Aerial View of the Camp Fire, One Month Later\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11710513/what-the-blaze-left-behind-an-aerial-view-of-the-camp-fire-one-month-later\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/Camp-Fire-aerials_1204-1-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When discussing the first few hours of the Camp Fire and his agency's response to it, Sheriff Honea speaks with surprise and awe of the pace at which the blaze grew. Butte County had dealt with fires in the area previously, and, according to Honea, firefighters \"were generally able to catch them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this blaze was different. It charred 20,000 acres in less than 14 hours, quickly spreading from a rural part of the county into Paradise and surrounding areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many residents said they received no warnings of the blaze, something Butte County officials have come under scrutiny about. In terms of wireless emergency alerts, the county uses something called codeRED, which is an opt-in system, meaning you only receive evacuation alerts on your cell phone if you've signed up for the service. In addition to codeRED, the Sheriff's department uses social media and media partners to spread the word, Honea said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the blaze, the sheriff said his agency is looking at finding different systems for emergency alerts, but he also said the size and speed of the blaze made it difficult to get everyone out of the area effectively, regardless of the notification system used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11710713\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-800x563.jpg\" alt=\"Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea at his desk.\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11710713\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-800x563.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-1020x717.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-1200x844.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea at his desk. \u003ccite>(Jeremy Siegel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"This fire was outrunning us in terms of our ability to notify people and get evacuations done before we even really understood we were in a race,\" he said. \"I think that you have to understand with regard to this particular fire, it moved so rapidly that it outpaced the resources and it outpaced, in many cases, the plans that worked very well under normal circumstances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for lessons to be learned from Butte County's response to the Camp Fire, Honea said there are going to be a lot.

Once all the evacuation orders are lifted and people have been able to return to the burn scar, Honea hopes they'll be able to sit down and look at what can be learned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we're still wrapping our minds around this entire event,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that means wrapping their minds around the destruction the blaze caused, something Honea is still wrestling with. Paradise is almost gone, as are parts of Magalia and Concow. Dozens of people are dead. \"I think \u003cb>\u003c/b>it weighs weighs on me the fact that we lost anybody,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, like much of the community, Sheriff Honea is optimistic that Paradise will rise from the ashes, noting, however, that that will come down to the community and town leaders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ultimately, I do believe that Paradise will rebuild,\" he said, adding that a new Paradise would have to be different than it once was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My hope and desire is that it changes in positive ways going forward and we get to a point where it's a safe community, it's a healthy community and it's a happy community.

He's been the voice of emergency response, the person residents saw every evening on TV in the aftermath of the blaze, giving updates on evacuations and fatalities — and later, updates on the search for human remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When new evacuations were ordered due to flooding, well after the Camp Fire was already contained, Honea was out on the street with first responders working to rescue people who were stranded in their cars. There's even been a \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/society/memes-make-butte-county-sheriff-internet-sensation/4723104/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of memes\u003c/a> posted online to honor the sheriff's work, some of them comparing him to Chuck Norris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for time with his family? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not much,\" he said. \"But I'm not complaining about that.

Butte County had dealt with fires in the area previously, and, according to Honea, firefighters \"were generally able to catch them.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this blaze was different. It charred 20,000 acres in less than 14 hours, quickly spreading from a rural part of the county into Paradise and surrounding areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many residents said they received no warnings of the blaze, something Butte County officials have come under scrutiny about. In terms of wireless emergency alerts, the county uses something called codeRED, which is an opt-in system, meaning you only receive evacuation alerts on your cell phone if you've signed up for the service. In addition to codeRED, the Sheriff's department uses social media and media partners to spread the word, Honea said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the aftermath of the blaze, the sheriff said his agency is looking at finding different systems for emergency alerts, but he also said the size and speed of the blaze made it difficult to get everyone out of the area effectively, regardless of the notification system used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11710713\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-800x563.jpg\" alt=\"Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea at his desk.\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11710713\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-800x563.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-1020x717.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea-1200x844.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/KoryHonea.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea at his desk. \u003ccite>(Jeremy Siegel/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"This fire was outrunning us in terms of our ability to notify people and get evacuations done before we even really understood we were in a race,\" he said. \"I think that you have to understand with regard to this particular fire, it moved so rapidly that it outpaced the resources and it outpaced, in many cases, the plans that worked very well under normal circumstances.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for lessons to be learned from Butte County's response to the Camp Fire, Honea said there are going to be a lot.

Once all the evacuation orders are lifted and people have been able to return to the burn scar, Honea hopes they'll be able to sit down and look at what can be learned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we're still wrapping our minds around this entire event,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that means wrapping their minds around the destruction the blaze caused, something Honea is still wrestling with. Paradise is almost gone, as are parts of Magalia and Concow. Dozens of people are dead. \"I think \u003cb>\u003c/b>it weighs weighs on me the fact that we lost anybody,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, like much of the community, Sheriff Honea is optimistic that Paradise will rise from the ashes, noting, however, that that will come down to the community and town leaders. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ultimately, I do believe that Paradise will rebuild,\" he said, adding that a new Paradise would have to be different than it once was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My hope and desire is that it changes in positive ways going forward and we get to a point where it's a safe community, it's a healthy community and it's a happy community.

Officials say this step will take about four months to fully complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second phase of the program — hauling away more than 8 million tons of ash, contaminated soil, concrete and metal — is expected to begin in January and take about a year, according to Mark Ghilarducci, director of the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It will take a herculean effort to be able to effectively, safely and rapidly get all the debris out of the area,” Ghilarducci told residents at a Wednesday community meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The removal of more than 18,000 burned-down structures, including nearly 14,000 residences and more than 500 commercial buildings, is the biggest wildfire cleanup job the state has ever undertaken, dwarfing the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1919995/the-big-sort-what-to-do-with-two-million-tons-of-fire-debris\">cleanup\u003c/a> from the 2017 North Bay firestorm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we were all said and done with that operation, we removed enough debris to make two Golden Gate Bridges, if you could imagine,” Ghilarducci said. “In this case we are at least four times as much debris.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite its scope, the state is not turning control of the project over to the federal government, which faced \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688776/in-scathing-letter-state-criticizes-army-corps-poor-oversight-in-north-bay-wildfire-cleanup\">criticism over mismanagement\u003c/a> of its contractors during the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681280/cleaning-up-inside-the-wildfire-debris-removal-job-that-cost-taxpayers-1-3-billion\">North Bay cleanup\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state wanted more control and closer oversight of the project this time, said Eric Lamoureux, Cal OES’s Camp Fire recovery lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we see that a contractor is not cleaning the site appropriately, we can immediately correct their actions on-site so that it doesn’t magnify and become a problem that must be dealt with later,” Lamoureux said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the North Bay fire cleanup, homeowners complained of property damage done by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractors. The state ended up stepping in to repair hundreds of lots that were over-excavated.

Lamoureux said the state’s landfill and recycling agency now has more than a decade of experience with fire cleanup.

But before many of those laws could even take effect, California was hit by two devastating fires, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11705243/california-wildfires-what-you-need-to-know\">the most destructive and deadly blaze in state history\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I imagine there will be a pretty big emphasis on this, and there should be,” Wood said, noting that his bill is aimed at preventing and limiting fires. “It goes back to that old adage — an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We haven’t focused on prevention enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lawmakers are also grappling with how to respond to blazes once they break out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, the one year anniversary of the devastating Thomas Fire in her Santa Barbara district, Sen. Hannah Beth Jackson introduced \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB46\">a bill that would make it easier\u003c/a> for local governments and colleges to obtain contact information for their residents for the purpose of issuing emergency alerts.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11709037/cpuc-orders-pge-to-implement-safety-improvements-amid-stormy-meeting\">CPUC Orders PG&E to Implement Safety Improvements Amid Stormy Meeting\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11709037/cpuc-orders-pge-to-implement-safety-improvements-amid-stormy-meeting\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/RS33930_111318_AW_CampFire_17-qut-1180x787.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 46 would build on another law Jackson authored, which takes effect in January and gives county governments access to resident’s contact information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first bill allowed counties to access utility bills to get that contact information.

They will have a right to opt out … but we will try to automatically get them into a system, so that they get these emergency alerts in real time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson’s bill would also let social service agencies give counties, cities and colleges information about people who are elderly or have disabilities, “so that we know who the people are that require the most support and assistance in being able to escape,” Jackson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11710371\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11710371 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1289\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409-800x537.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409-1020x685.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/12/GettyImages-1070764782-1-e1544057494409-1200x806.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" />\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A search and rescue crew member searches for human remains at a mobile home park that was destroyed by the Camp Fire on November 21, 2018 in Paradise, California.

These features, once approved, would be required for all homes and commercial buildings starting Jan. 1, 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wood acknowledged that the state telling local communities or residents how or where to build could anger some Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he said, “I think the time is right to have these discussions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not without controversy.

Thousands of Butte County residents remain homeless in the aftermath of the Camp Fire, which killed at least 85 people and destroyed more than 18,000 buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the discussion will be around more immediate relief for the survivors of the Camp Fire and Woolsey Fire, which killed three people and burned more than 1,500 structures in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Assemblyman Jim Gallagher, who represents portions of Butte County, introduced two bills this week aimed at putting more state funds towards helping recovery in the communities impacted by the Camp Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lawmakers will also have to tackle more controversial questions around wildfire liability and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11706641/californias-chief-regulator-calls-for-review-of-pges-structure\">future of the state’s utilities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
