AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Wildfire & heat emergency across the Northwest: A fast-moving, wind-driven wildfire crisis in Washington’s Spokane area has triggered evacuations and a state of emergency, with thousands of structures threatened as multiple fires burn statewide. Western heat dome: A dangerous heat wave is pressing from the Southwest into Montana, with record-near temperatures and little overnight relief, raising heat illness risk and wildfire danger. Montana trout closures: Record heat and drought are warming rivers to levels that can kill trout, prompting fishing bans during the hottest hours across Montana and Yellowstone-area waters. Drought relief for Montana farmers: USDA designated five Montana counties as primary natural disaster areas due to drought, unlocking potential emergency loan help for eligible producers. Indigenous clean energy milestone: Montana First Nation celebrated the grand opening of the Killarney Lake Solar Farm, a 22.5-megawatt project aimed at expanding Indigenous-led renewable power and opportunities. Helium supply squeeze: Helium demand is rising as Middle East supply disruptions ripple outward, with Canada facing pressure to meet the moment. Wildlife conflict training: A look at ranching tactics to help cattle coexist with wolves, including predator-aware herd management approaches. Local sustainability spotlight: Billings held its inaugural paper fashion show, turning recycled materials and paper into wearable art while collecting community food donations.
