California with the support of Gavin Newsom is building "no go" zones for wildfire response. Sounds OK except - a video recording of a local Mayor at a wildfire update press conference, asking with deference, when the main highway to his town will re-open, and the response from a tense and aggressive CHP leader was "maybe that road will be closed for six months, maybe next year" with no respect... instantly snapped at a Mayor, on camera. How are these zones decided upon? "immediate area" is not what was being done in that event.
Do you have a link to this ?
I would like to see this interaction…

The most insidious part: "Because the system actually monitors the regions, you don’t need to request always permissions for your app"
much respect to rsync -- I believe it was a press CalFIRE event during one of the many ultra-serious fires, and I did not record that video. The interaction was distinct in my mind however, for the reason stated here. The town was a smaller town on the edge of a large forested area. The scope-creep and instant-authority of it all, as bad as that is, is dwarfed by the loss of life and property, flora and fauna during the wildfire. In the execution of emergency duties however, all the rules of engagement should be ON, IMHO.
