GovBot County Hazards

Returns the FEMA flood study held for one five-digit county FIPS code (status, effective or issue date, source document) and a page of up to 50 of its streams with cross-section counts and station ranges. Source: FEMA DFIRM study cross-section tables retained and independently checked by GovBot.ai; sealed snapshot, no live read. Candidate release, not a regulatory determination. A county not held says nothing about FEMA coverage; current effectiveness is unknown.

list_county_flood_studies

Returns NFIP participation and Community Rating System status for the communities linked to one county GEOID (optional name filter) or for one six-digit NFIP community ID: participation, sanction, map and program dates, CRS class and discounts, multiple-loss property counts, and ACS population and income. Source: FEMA NFIP Community Status Book and OpenFEMA, retrieved 2026-09-27; sealed snapshot, no live read. Status can change after that date; a blank CRS class means none is recorded; multiple-loss counts are flagged properties, not claim totals. Results carry the NFIP snapshot date in source_vintage.snapshot_date; every answer using that snapshot should state the returned date in a brief source-date clause and never invent a date if absent.

get_nfip_community_status

Returns a brief for one county GEOID in up to seven groups: identity (ACS population and income), planning (FEMA-registered mitigation plans), flood_insurance (NFIP communities), flood_studies, resilience (FEMA CRCI profile), disasters (recent FEMA declarations) and, when requested, current (NWS alerts at the county internal point). Four groups come from sealed snapshots; resilience, disasters and current are read live. Each group states its status, source and vintage; values are not merged across groups. Dated snapshot groups carry their own dates in groups.planning.vintage.plan_registry_date and groups.flood_insurance.vintage.snapshot_date; every answer using those snapshots should state the corresponding returned dates in brief source-date clauses and never invent dates if absent.

get_county_brief

Returns selected FEMA Community Resilience Challenges Index (CRCI) composite and percentage indicators for one five-digit county GEOID. Source: FEMA RAPT 2025 county layer, primarily ACS 2019–2023; retrievedAt is fetch time, not the measure vintage. The percentile is relative among counties, not a site hazard probability or current observation; null and absent metrics are kept distinct; no geometry is returned.

get_county_resilience_profile

Matches a typed place name, optionally within one state, exactly after case, punctuation and Saint/St normalisation to Census counties, cities, towns, townships and census designated places, and returns each GEOID, county GEOIDs and the hazard mitigation plans the FEMA plan registry lists. Sealed snapshot of Census names and the registry dated 2026-09-26; no live read. Up to 10 candidates; no spelling correction; no_plan_record means only that the registry lists no plan. Results carry the county registry snapshot date in registry_date; every answer using that snapshot, including a short identity answer, should state the returned date in a brief source-date clause and never invent a date if absent.
