AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Wildfire Smoke & Air Quality: RIDEM issued a statewide Air Quality Alert through midnight July 16 as Canadian wildfire smoke pushed fine particles into “Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups,” with patchy haze and poor visibility lingering into Friday morning. Public Health: Health guidance urges people with asthma, heart, or lung conditions to limit outdoor exertion, seal indoor spaces, use HEPA filtration, recirculate car air, and consider a properly fitted N95 outdoors. Clean Energy Fight: Rhode Island’s AG Peter Neronha joined a coalition challenging the DoD’s freeze on land-based wind project reviews, arguing it unlawfully blocks clean energy and raises costs. Resilience Funding: Richmond approved a one-year extension for a Climate Resilience Fund grant to replace a Carolina Nooseneck Road culvert, aiming to improve fish and wildlife passage and reduce flooding risk. Food Safety: URI’s Nicole Richard shared tips as a Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell shredded iceberg lettuce expands, with FDA reporting dozens of hospitalizations and urging careful produce handling. Shark Safety: A new federal “Lulu’s Law” would add shark attacks to wireless emergency alerts—rare in RI, but experts say it could still help.
