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.",

He said his department has developed a policy that calls for using it when deputies don't have the ability to go door to door to warn citizens of an imminent threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will go through neighborhoods sounding that particular siren. That's the only time we will use it. It means there's an evacuation in effect in that area,\" Honea said, adding that the tone is different from emergency sirens normally heard in the United States, which will in theory make it standout in an evacuation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said while having uniformed law enforcement knock on doors is the most effective way to notify people, it's unrealistic during a major disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no jurisdiction that has a sufficient number of resources,\" Honea said, \"especially when you're dealing with a no-notice event like the Camp Fire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inability of counties to effectively alert residents of a fast-approaching wildfire was an issue \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11711175/butte-county-to-reassess-emergency-alert-system-in-aftermath-of-camp-fire\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">during the Camp Fire\u003c/a> as well as the North Bay Fires in 2017.

There won't be Facebook to get the word out. Phones might not be charged.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan also flagged concerns about whether law enforcement vehicles blaring the new evacuation siren will be able to make it into neighborhoods if a disaster has already brought down trees and power lines, rendering roads impassable. But she said any attempts to improve emergency communications is welcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Anything is a help,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Honea hopes the new siren will help maximize his agency's reach during an emergency, noting that it's difficult to ensure universal communications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No matter how many platforms you message on, there is no way to ensure 100% saturation of your message,\" Honea said. \"Technology may fail you when the infrastructure goes down. So I think we need to bring a clear understanding of what our capabilities are and manage expectations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honea says the idea to install the European-style siren tones in Butte County vehicles is borrowed from similar initiatives taken by Sonoma and Napa counties following the North Bay Fires in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Malibu is \u003ca href=\"https://www.radiomalibu.net/city-will-call-cell-phones-and-landlines-in-2-weeks/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considering\u003c/a> stationary loudspeaker siren towers so it can broadcast audio messages using renewable power sources that would serve as an alternative in case the primary power infrastructure fails.

He said his department has developed a policy that calls for using it when deputies don't have the ability to go door to door to warn citizens of an imminent threat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will go through neighborhoods sounding that particular siren. That's the only time we will use it. It means there's an evacuation in effect in that area,\" Honea said, adding that the tone is different from emergency sirens normally heard in the United States, which will in theory make it standout in an evacuation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said while having uniformed law enforcement knock on doors is the most effective way to notify people, it's unrealistic during a major disaster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no jurisdiction that has a sufficient number of resources,\" Honea said, \"especially when you're dealing with a no-notice event like the Camp Fire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
