AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoHeat & Fire Risk: A Heat Advisory is in effect for St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John as Saharan dust, humidity, and warm ocean conditions push heat index values past 100°F, while low rainfall leaves vegetation very dry and brush-fire danger elevated. Water Safety: DPNR flagged a St. Thomas beach as unsafe, but St. Croix results were left unusable after a lab equipment failure—so some local beachgoers may be swimming without clear guidance. Foodborne Illness Watch: Federal investigators traced the exploding Cyclospora outbreak to a Central Mexico farm; Taylor Farms says it will remove affected shredded iceberg lettuce from the U.S. market indefinitely. Drug Prices & Health Costs: A multistate coalition announced a $29.6 million Glenmark settlement over alleged generic drug price-fixing; people who bought certain generics from May 2009–Dec 2019 may be eligible for compensation. Local Health & Safety: A St. Thomas housing worker was arrested after an alleged machete attack during a dispute, and a fisherman stranded on Savana Island was rescued and treated for dehydration.
