## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need up-to-date federal disaster declaration data directly sourced from FEMA for a specific U.S. state or county. Prefer this over general news or third-party aggregators when official government data provenance and attribution are required, such as for emergency management, insurance, compliance, or public safety applications.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'state' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid or unrecognized state code may return empty results or an error
- FEMA data source temporarily unavailable causes upstream failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) prevents access
- No current disaster declarations for a state returns an empty disasters array
