AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Earthquake Relief & Safety: Two major earthquakes (7.2 and 7.5) struck northern Venezuela near Caracas, collapsing buildings, damaging infrastructure, and triggering tsunami advisories for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that were later canceled; officials reported at least 32 deaths and hundreds injured, with a state of emergency declared and schools planned as shelters. Substance Use Treatment Access: Allpure Behavioral Health partnered with Rx Outreach to expand affordable, medication-assisted online substance use disorder treatment, including free nationwide home delivery and no insurance requirement for medications. Local Health & Youth Trends (USVI): KIDS COUNT USVI data shows USVI gains in unemployment, public school graduation, and English Language Arts, but ongoing concerns with lower math performance, dropout numbers, wage pressure, and housing strain. Sun Protection Guidance: A new report finds few sunscreens meet safety standards; dermatology advice highlights using broad-spectrum SPF (at least 30), applying properly, and reapplying after swimming or heavy sweating. Public Health Recognition (USVI): The VI Department of Health Epidemiology Division earned national honors at CSTE, with a lead epidemiologist receiving a Rising Leader Award for innovation and impact. Community Support (AARP): AARP announced Community Challenge grants across states and territories, funding practical projects that improve mobility, connection, and safety for older adults and residents of all ages. Injury & Justice (St. Thomas): VIPD charged a St. Thomas woman in a fatal hit-and-run on Veterans Drive involving alcohol, with felony vehicular homicide and involuntary manslaughter allegations.
