Elon Musk...

I hope I was able to give the tools

to answer your questions you gave the fire chief,

yet he led you to an answer of what was it 1990's...60 yrs?

What was it?

I think my posts gave you the documented answers...


Let us have documentation that leads to a proper conclusion -


Let us clean up

the possible

lies and omissions

and ignorance...

people died...

As I thought it was tasteless on some areas - I focus to what they do in actions, and I really want to hear zip of people's personal lifestyles in my professional clocked time...I asked Grok 2.0:

 I empathize with their stress, but accountability matters!

Subject: FOIA Request for Health Department Statistics Related to the Palisades Fire


Dear [Health Department FOIA Officer],


Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:


  1. Current Health Statistics:

    • All available health statistics for the area directly affected by the Palisades Fire, including but not limited to:

      • Incidence of respiratory issues among residents.

      • Hospitalization rates for smoke inhalation or related conditions.

      • Data on mental health services utilization in the aftermath of the fire.

      • Environmental health data such as air quality metrics post-fire.

  2. Follow-Up Statistics:

    • I request that the same or similar data sets be provided:

      • Six months from the date of this request.

      • One year from the date of this request, to assess long-term health impacts.


Please note, for each data collection point, I am interested in:

  • Aggregated data by demographic (age, gender, if available).

  • Geographic breakdown if possible, to understand the impact across different zones or neighborhoods affected by the fire.


  1. Additional Information:

    • Any public health advisories or warnings issued in response to the fire.

    • Reports or assessments related to public health response strategies implemented during and after the fire.

    • Correspondence or internal memos discussing health risks associated with the fire, redacted for privacy where necessary.


If any of this information is available in electronic format, I would prefer to receive it in that form. However, I am willing to accept paper copies if necessary.


I understand that FOIA requests can take time to process, but I would appreciate if this request could be expedited due to its relevance to public health and safety. Please acknowledge receipt of this request and provide an estimated completion time.


If there are any fees for processing this request, please inform me of the cost before proceeding. I am willing to pay reasonable fees but would appreciate a cost estimate before processing.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.


Sincerely,


[Your Name][Your Contact Information]


Additional Considerations:

  • Specify the Date Range: Clearly define the period for which you want data, especially if you're looking at "current" statistics. For example, you might say "from the start of the Palisades Fire until [date]".

  • Be Prepared for Redactions: Some information might be withheld due to privacy concerns, particularly with health data. Be clear you understand this and are looking for aggregate statistics.

  • Follow Up: After submitting your request, follow up if you don't receive a response within the statutory time frame (usually 20 business days for federal agencies, though state and local agencies might vary).

  • Appeal if Necessary: If your request is denied or you receive a response that doesn't fully satisfy your request, you have the right to appeal.

  • Look into Local Regulations: Some states or local jurisdictions might have their own open records laws which could be more stringent or offer different procedures than the federal FOIA.

  • Consider Health Impact Assessments: If available, you might also request any health impact assessments done on the area to understand long-term effects.


Remember, the more specific your request, the easier it is for the agency to respond. However, keep your request broad enough to cover all potentially relevant data, and be prepared for the process to take some time.
