## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability fema-disaster-declarations-by-state-dc83a449
```

Example prompt: Pull the 5 most recent FEMA disaster declarations for California — I want to see the disaster title, type of incident, declaration type, and date for each one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, authoritative federal disaster declaration data from openFEMA without requiring an API key. Ideal for state-level emergency situational awareness, research, or enriching location-based risk assessments. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, de-duplicated FEMA records per disaster.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid state code returns an error or empty result
- State code not recognized (e.g. typo) may return no results
- Limit out of range (>20 or <1) may be rejected or clamped
- Upstream openFEMA API outage results in service unavailability
- No recent declarations for a given state returns an empty list

## How this service works

Recent FEMA disaster declarations for a US state (openFEMA): title, incident type, declaration type, and date - the federal emergency picture by state, de-duplicated by disaster. Live gov data, no key. ?state=CA&limit=5

## Output

A de-duplicated list of recent FEMA disaster declarations for the requested state, each including the disaster title, incident type (e.g. hurricane, wildfire, flood), declaration type (e.g. major disaster, emergency), and the declaration date. Up to the specified limit (default 5, max 20).
