Overview

GovBot County Hazards is a remote, read-only MCP server operated by Ideation Lab, Corp. It requires no account. It resolves a place name to its Census county and returns dated public records for that county side by side, each with its source and date. What it returns: - Place resolution: Census county and place identifiers for a typed name, with candidates when a name is ambiguous. - County brief: population and income (ACS), FEMA-registered hazard mitigation plans, FEMA disaster declarations, NFIP participation, FEMA Community Resilience Challenges Index and held flood-study coverage. - NFIP community status: participation, sanctions and Community Rating System class for each community in a county. - Resilience profile: selected FEMA RAPT Community Resilience Challenges Index indicators. - Flood studies: the FEMA flood study held for a county, with streams, or a statement that none is held. How results are qualified: each section states its source and snapshot or retrieval date. County and community records are not property determinations; the service does not state flood zones for individual properties, insurance premiums, eligibility or present safety. Not affiliated with FEMA or any government agency. The server writes nothing.

Tools

get_county_brief

ChatGPT

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_resilience_profile

ChatGPT

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_nfip_community_status

ChatGPT

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.

list_county_flood_studies

ChatGPT

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.

resolve_place

ChatGPT

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.

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. The disasters group reports only the total in declarations_recorded_for_county; counts by type are not returned and follow only from the declaration_type value of each listed record (DR major disaster, EM emergency, FM fire management).

list_county_flood_studies

Claude

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 from FEMA Map Service Center packages; sealed snapshot, no live read. Not a regulatory determination; the FEMA Flood Map Service Center is authoritative. A county not held says nothing about FEMA coverage; current effectiveness is unknown.
