## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Disaster Risk Monitor

Aggregates publicly available disaster and safety data from 4 US government sources into a comprehensive risk assessment. Combines USGS earthquakes, NOAA weather, FEMA disaster declarations, and State Dept travel advisories.

**All data sources are US public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105).**

### Features

- Query earthquake frequency (30-day window) from USGS at any latitude/longitude
- Retrieve active weather alerts and forecasts from NOAA (National Weather Service)
- Fetch FEMA disaster declarations (5-year history) by US state
- Aggregate travel advisory levels by country (State Dept)
- Composite risk scoring (0-100) combining all sources
- Parallel API calls for performance
- Individual error handling—partial data OK

### Input Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `latitude` | number | Yes | Latitude (-90 to 90) for location analysis |
| `longitude` | number | Yes | Longitude (-180 to 180) for location analysis |
| `state` | string | No | US state abbreviation (e.g., 'CA', 'NY', 'TX'). Enables FEMA declarations query. |
| `country` | string | No | ISO 2-letter country code (e.g., 'US', 'JP'). Enables travel advisory lookup. |

### Output

Returns a single JSON object with:

```json
{
  "coordinates": { "lat": 34.05, "lon": -118.24 },
  "usgs": {
    "earthquakeCount30d": 42,
    "maxMagnitude": 4.1,
    "radius_km": 500
  },
  "noaa": {
    "forecast": "Partly Cloudy",
    "activeAlertCount": 2,
    "alerts": [
      { "event": "Fire Weather Watch", "severity": "Moderate" }
    ]
  },
  "fema": {
    "declarationCount5y": 8,
    "types": ["Fire", "Flood", "Earthquake"]
  },
  "stateDept": {
    "country": "US",
    "advisoryLevel": "not available"
  },
  "riskScore": 45,
  "sources": ["USGS", "NOAA", "FEMA"],
  "disclaimer": "⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This data is historical and aggregated from public sources only. It is NOT emergency advice..."
}
````

### Risk Score Calculation

Risk Score (0-100) is composite:

- **USGS**: 0-25 pts (earthquake count + magnitude)
- **NOAA**: 0-25 pts (active alert count)
- **FEMA**: 0-30 pts (5-year declaration history)
- **State Dept**: 0-35 pts (travel advisory level, if available)

Scores are capped at 100.

### Data Sources

| Source | URL | Update Frequency | Data |
|--------|-----|------------------|------|
| USGS Earthquake | `earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query` | Real-time | Magnitude 2.5+, 500 km radius, 30-day window |
| NOAA Weather | `api.weather.gov/points`, `/alerts/active` | Hourly | Forecast + Active alerts at location |
| FEMA Disasters | `fema.gov/api/open/v2/DisasterDeclarationsSummaries` | Daily | Declarations by state, 5-year history |
| State Dept Advisories | `travel.state.gov` | Weekly | Travel warning levels (currently "not available" via JSON API) |

### ⚠️ Legal Disclaimer

**This Actor aggregates publicly available disaster and safety data from:**

- US Geological Survey (USGS) - Public Domain (17 U.S.C. § 105)
- NOAA National Weather Service - Public Domain
- FEMA OpenFEMA - Public Domain
- US Department of State Travel Advisories - Public Domain

#### NOT Emergency Advice

- **Does NOT replace** official emergency alerts, evacuation orders, or government warnings
- **Does NOT provide** real-time predictions or forecasting
- **Does NOT guarantee** data accuracy or completeness
- **For active emergencies**, dial 911 (US) or visit https://www.ready.gov
- **For international travel**, consult https://travel.state.gov

All source data is in the US public domain and redistributed with attribution.

### Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

- **$0.05 per location analysis** (includes all 4 data sources)

### Usage

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('ntriqpro/disaster-risk-monitor').call({
  latitude: 34.05,
  longitude: -118.24,
  state: 'CA',
  country: 'US'
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items[0].riskScore);  // e.g., 45
```

### API Response Handling

Each API failure is independent:

- If USGS is down, NOAA/FEMA/State Dept still return data
- Missing optional parameters (state, country) simply skip those API calls
- Empty results are returned as `null` for each source

### Requirements

- Node.js 18+
- Internet access to USGS, NOAA, FEMA, State Dept APIs
- No authentication keys required (all APIs are public)

### Testing

```bash
npm install
npm start

## Input example:
## {"latitude": 34.05, "longitude": -118.24, "state": "CA", "country": "US"}
```

### Notes

- USGS queries 500 km radius by default (customizable in code)
- NOAA requires User-Agent header (included: `disaster-risk-monitor/1.0`)
- FEMA API only returns 5-year window declarations (adjustable via filter)
- State Dept travel advisories have no official JSON API (placeholder only)
