Treat absent map entries as map-feed/status changes unless confirmed by official incident notes.

No new Greenwood-local Highway 3 closure verified.
- City of Greenwood: Stage 2 water restrictions and all-open-burning prohibition remain posted. News/elections pages still show election notices; no newer official city-news item found above those items.
- City council meetings page: points readers to the interactive agenda/minutes calendar; no newer agenda/minutes item was verified in this run.
- RDKB pages returned Cloudflare 403 to automated HTTP checks.
- Facebook/community sources remained login-gated or public-access limited. Treat as leads only unless readable public text plus official/named confirmation is available.

## Editorial handling

- Published as an official-source monitoring brief because two August 2 out-of-control wildfire map-layer points appeared in the local watch radius while the air-quality warning remained active.
- Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts.
- Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
