Query official New Zealand CAP emergency alerts by location, region, agency and severity, aggregating NEMA Emergency Mobile Alerts and MetService severe weather watches/warnings. Use for current official alert retrieval; absence is not proof of safety.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NZ Emergency Alerts

Use the read-only Python CLI to retrieve and filter records exposed by the official first-party source.
Every command supports `--json`, bounded requests, stable exit codes, source URLs and retrieval timestamps.

## Commands

```bash
# list active official alert resources
python3 scripts/cli.py active --json
# match alerts near a point using published CAP geometry
python3 scripts/cli.py near --lat VALUE --lon VALUE --json
# filter alerts by region
python3 scripts/cli.py region NAME --json
# filter alerts by issuing agency
python3 scripts/cli.py agency NAME --json
# filter alerts by CAP severity
python3 scripts/cli.py severity LEVEL --json
# find an alert by CAP identifier
python3 scripts/cli.py alert ID --json
# show official feed health and freshness resources
python3 scripts/cli.py feed-status --json
```

Add `--limit N` (1–100) to bound any command. Human output is the default.

## Coverage and interpretation

- Aggregates two official CAP publishers: NEMA's Emergency Mobile Alert feed (NEMA,
  CDEM Groups, Health, Police, MPI, FENZ) and MetService's severe weather
  watches/warnings/advisories. Each alert row carries a `feed` field.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-emergency-alerts@sha256:ed3663cd7f70b390

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.79d8563, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
