README (SKILL.md)

Natural Disaster Intel

Real-time disaster monitoring from FEMA, NOAA, and USGS.

Setup

mcporter add gov-disasters --url https://natural-disaster-intel-mcp.apify.actor/mcp --transport streamable-http

Or add to your OpenClaw MCP config (~/.openclaw/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "gov-disasters": {
      "url": "https://natural-disaster-intel-mcp.apify.actor/mcp",
      "transport": "streamable-http"
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

disaster_search_fema_declarations

Search FEMA disaster declarations by state, incident type, and date range. Returns official federal disaster records.

Show FEMA disaster declarations for California
Any hurricane declarations in Florida this year?

Parameters: states (array, e.g. ["CA","NY"]), incidentTypes (array, e.g. ["Hurricane","Flood"]), dateStart, dateEnd, limit

disaster_get_weather_alerts

Get active NOAA/NWS weather alerts by state, severity, and event type. Real-time warnings, watches, and advisories.

Show severe weather alerts for Texas
Any tornado warnings active right now?

Parameters: states (array), severity (Minor/Moderate/Severe/Extreme), event, limit

disaster_search_earthquakes

Search USGS earthquake data by magnitude, date range, and alert level. Returns seismic events worldwide.

Show earthquakes above magnitude 5 in the last week
Any significant earthquakes near California?

Parameters: minMagnitude (0-10), maxMagnitude, startDate, endDate, alertLevel (green/yellow/orange/red), limit

Data Sources

  • FEMA — Federal Emergency Management Agency (disaster declarations)
  • NOAA/NWS — National Weather Service (weather alerts)
  • USGS — US Geological Survey (earthquake data)

Use Cases

  • Real-time disaster monitoring
  • Emergency preparedness
  • Insurance risk assessment
  • Travel safety checks
  • Supply chain disruption tracking

All data from free US government APIs. Zero cost. No API keys required.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to honestly provide FEMA/NOAA/USGS data, but installing it requires adding a third-party MCP server (natural-disaster-intel-mcp.apify.actor) to your OpenClaw MCP config. Before you install: 1) Verify the GitHub homepage and the operator running the Apify actor; inspect the server's source code if available. 2) Back up and inspect your existing ~/.openclaw/mcp.json after running mcporter (or edit it manually) so you know what changed. 3) Be aware that the remote server can stream arbitrary tool implementations to your agent — only add servers you trust. 4) If you prefer reduced risk, query FEMA/NOAA/USGS APIs directly or run a self-hosted MCP server that you control. If you want greater assurance, provide the skill author or publisher info and server implementation details; that would raise confidence from medium to high.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: gov-disaster-intel Version: 1.0.0 The skill is classified as suspicious due to its reliance on an external, third-party service hosted at `https://natural-disaster-intel-mcp.apify.actor/mcp` for its core functionality, as specified in `SKILL.md`. This introduces a significant supply chain risk, as the behavior of the skill could be altered or compromised without any changes to the local skill bundle. Additionally, the skill requires the `mcporter` binary, adding another external dependency and potential attack surface. While no direct malicious code or prompt injection attempts are present in the provided files, these external dependencies represent risky capabilities.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (FEMA/NOAA/USGS) match the SKILL.md which exposes three disaster-monitoring tools. The requirement for the 'mcporter' binary is consistent with adding an MCP server. However, the runtime instructions recommend writing to ~/.openclaw/mcp.json (agent config) while the skill metadata lists no required config paths — a small mismatch that should be declared.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md instructs the agent/user to add a remote MCP server URL (https://natural-disaster-intel-mcp.apify.actor/mcp) using mcporter or by editing ~/.openclaw/mcp.json. That action connects the agent to an external host which can stream tool interfaces and data; instructions do not request unrelated local data, but they do modify the agent's MCP config (a privileged configuration surface). The doc does not describe what the remote server will publish beyond the three tools.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files — lowest-risk deployment surface. The single binary dependency (mcporter) is reasonable for adding an MCP server. No downloads/archives or opaque install URLs are provided by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which is proportional. However, it implicitly requires write access to the user's MCP config (~/.openclaw/mcp.json) via mcporter or manual edit; that config-path requirement is not listed in the metadata and should be declared.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false (good) and autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default). The actionable concern is that adding the remote MCP server persists a reference in the agent config so the external host can supply/stream tools later — this increases the blast radius of the remote service and should be trusted only if the server/operator is verified.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install gov-disaster-intel
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /gov-disaster-intel
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
