AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoHurricane Readiness: NOAA is forecasting a below-average Atlantic season for 2026, driven largely by El Niño—expect 8 to 14 named storms, 3 to 6 hurricanes, and 1 to 3 major hurricanes—but forecasters stress it only takes one storm to wreck plans. Coastal Runoff Fixes: A new push is replacing hot, flood-prone parking lots with porous pavement and native-plant designs that let rain soak in faster, with New Orleans already requiring permeable paving where practical. Drinking Water Lead: EPA announced $27.46M for Arkansas to find and replace lead service lines, part of a broader push that also includes Louisiana funding. Land & Water Pressure: Louisiana’s Kisatchie National Forest transfer plan faced backlash and was scaled back after outrage from hunters, conservationists, and local leaders. Local Wildlife: An alligator snapping turtle—abandoned as a pet—was found in Massachusetts, a reminder that invasive pets can become public safety and conservation problems.
