# Global Hazards – Natural Hazard Events Near a Point

> Global Hazards – Natural Hazard Events Near a Point is a paid API for AI agents from global-hazards.x402tookit.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns natural hazard events (wildfire, storm, volcano, flood, earthquake, etc.) nearest to a given coordinate, sourced from NASA EONET and GDACS, sorted by proximity.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 global-hazards-natural-hazard-events-near-a-point-e3974bef
```

Example prompt: Are there any active natural hazard events — wildfires, storms, volcanoes, floods, anything — within 400 km of latitude 34.05, longitude -118.24 over the last 14 days? Show me the nearest ones first.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need proximity-ranked, multi-hazard situational awareness around a specific geographic point, pulling from both NASA EONET and GDACS in a single call. Prefer it over single-hazard endpoints (e.g. volcanoes-only or earthquakes-only) when you want a comprehensive cross-category picture. Ideal for travel safety checks, property risk monitoring, or emergency response dashboards where the nearest threats matter most.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat/lon parameters returns an error
- Out-of-range radiusKm (outside 10–2000 km) may be rejected or clamped
- Out-of-range days (outside 1–60) may be rejected
- Invalid category string returns no results or an error
- Upstream NASA EONET or GDACS outage causes degraded mode with partial results
- Coordinates in remote ocean areas may return zero events
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request

## How this service works

Natural hazard events near a point: wildfire, storm, volcano, flood and more from NASA EONET and GDACS, nearest first.

## Output

Returns a list of natural hazard events sorted by distance from the specified coordinate, each including event title, category (wildfire/storm/volcano/flood/earthquake/etc.), distance in km, direction, alert level, status (open/closed), age in hours, last update timestamp, source (NASA EONET or GDACS), and a source URL. Also includes a summary text, total event count, the query parameters echoed back, and a degraded-mode flag if one upstream source was unavailable.
