## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability fittings-fema-flood-zone-lookup-889aa1f8
```

Example prompt: Is the property at latitude 29.9511 and longitude -90.0715 in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and what's its flood zone designation and base flood elevation?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative FEMA flood zone data (zone code, SFHA status, base flood elevation) for a specific US coordinate — particularly for real estate due diligence, insurance underwriting, regulatory compliance, or construction planning. It is more reliable than geocoding-based estimations and directly queries FEMA NFHL data. Pair it with the Fittings address geocoder if you start from a street address rather than coordinates.

## Known failure modes

- Coordinates outside the US return no data or an error
- Coordinate falls in an unmapped or unstudied area with no NFHL coverage
- Invalid lat/lon values (out of range) trigger a validation error
- FEMA data may be outdated relative to recent map amendments or LOMAs
- Non-number inputs for lat or lon cause schema validation failures

## How this service works

FEMA flood hazard zone, Special Flood Hazard Area status and base flood elevation at a US coordinate.

## Output

Returns the FEMA flood hazard zone designation (e.g. AE, X, VE), whether the location is within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), and the base flood elevation in feet — all derived from FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for the queried US coordinate.
