AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoHeat & Public Safety: A heat advisory is in effect for Jackson Hole this weekend, with highs up to 98–105°F below 5,500 feet and 90–98°F above, plus warnings that temperatures may not drop below 90 until sunset; Teton County Emergency Management urges hydration, light clothing, limiting midday outdoor time, and never leaving people or pets in cars. Colorado River Water Crunch: The Trump administration released a long-awaited 10-year Colorado River plan, setting up possible Lower Basin cutbacks of up to 3 million acre-feet per year (up to 40% of combined allotments) while sparing Wyoming and other Upper Basin states from mandatory cuts for now; officials say the framework will be revisited every two years as hydrology shifts. Wildlife Crossing on U.S. 189: Wyoming’s Kemmerer Wildlife Crossing project is moving ahead on schedule, adding deer fencing and underpasses/overpass to reduce the roughly 80 wildlife-vehicle collisions reported annually along the corridor. Endangered Species Update: The razorback sucker was downlisted from endangered to threatened under the Endangered Species Act, reflecting recovery but continued long-term threats in the Colorado River basin. Grid Risk From Extreme Heat: The U.S. Department of Energy authorized emergency power measures for 17 states through Aug. 3 as extreme heat raises blackout fears. Outdoor Safety in Parks: Grand Teton launched a life jacket loaner program at key water access points, while Grand Canyon issued a six-hour daily hiking avoidance window during peak heat.
