AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoDisaster & Regional Business Impact: Back-to-back powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela’s northern coast near Morón, collapsing buildings in Caracas and forcing evacuations across the region; the USGS reported magnitudes of 7.1/7.2 and 7.5 within about a minute, with tsunami alerts briefly issued for the Virgin Islands and later cancelled, while Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the toll rose to at least 164 dead and 971 injured (earlier reports put it at 32 dead and 700 injured), and the government declared a state of emergency as La Guaira—home to the main airport—took the hardest hit. Public Safety & Preparedness: In the wake of the quake coverage, disaster-readiness messaging also surfaced locally through Stacy Bourne’s “Disaster Smart” educational resources, aimed at helping families, schools, and businesses build practical plans before emergencies. Governance & Accountability Watch: Separately, U.S. lawmakers are expected to press Leon Black and others tied to Jeffrey Epstein as House Oversight discussions move toward subpoenas over secret settlements, keeping financial and legal scrutiny in the spotlight.
