Natural Disaster Intelligence MCP Server

Monitor FEMA disaster declarations, active weather alerts, and earthquake activity through a single MCP interface. This server connects AI assistants to three critical federal data sources for natural disaster awareness, enabling real-time situational intelligence and historical disaster research.

Emergency managers, insurance professionals, researchers, and concerned citizens can use this server to query active weather threats, review FEMA disaster history for any state, or search recent seismic activity worldwide -- all through natural language prompts to an AI assistant.
