Emergencies do not trump freedom, emergencies are when freedom is most necessary:
During times of emergency, or ever, no Constitutionally protected freedom may be curtailed or violated by state or federal government, including but not limited to the rights to free speech, assembly, or the right to keep and bear arms. Ever. In any circumstance.
The right of citizens to come to the aid fellow citizens shall be respected:
During times of emergency, the people shall not be denied the right to freedom of travel, nor shall they be denied the right to come to the aid of their fellow citizens in need without interference from the government. This should not be taken as denying duly granted authority of the government to manage or perform disaster relief, rescue efforts, or disaster preparation, but the people should never be barred from, hindered from, or harassed while providing privately funded or privately organized relief or rescue efforts which do not otherwise violate law, nor should any restrictions be put in place by the government which are meant to hinder such private efforts. Laws which prescribe reasonable communication and coordination between private and government efforts are certainly acceptable, even highly recommended so long as they are not hindered.
The right of the People to pre-prepare for themselves and their families for emergency or disaster shall be protected:
During times of emergency, privately held individual or homestead stockpiles, which were otherwise legally obtained and held, of food (including greenhouses, gardens, and homestead livestock), water and purification supplies, medical supplies, fuel, communication equipment, valuables, money, or arms shall never be confiscated under imminent domain or any other reason, by state or federal governments, no matter the size of the stockpile. An exception for actively hoarding or collecting DURING the emergency, with the intention of profit gouging or recklessly creating or recklessly worsening scarcity would be certainly reasonable.
Private donations to relief efforts are not the government’s property to redistribute:
During times of emergency neither state or federal governments shall confiscate or blockade by order or force any stockpile which has been privately donated and collected for a relief or rescue effort, which does not otherwise violate the law. An exception should be made for stockpiles which are being collected or distributed fraudulently at the expense of the donors, or similar exceptions. There is nothing wrong with the government working side-by-side, in coordination, and/or in communication with such private efforts, which is in fact encouraged.
Summary: The people should always be allowed to reasonably come to the aid of their fellow Americans during time of emergency without government interference or harassment. The people should not be in fear of losing, by force, their carefully thought out and otherwise legal preparations for themselves or their family. And the freedoms which are enshrined in our Constitution do not end when an emergency begins.
Disclaimer: I am making no claims that any of this is happening now. I simply believe these things should be codified or even ideally added to the Constitution through an Amendment.
