# GeoNet NZ

## Goal

Query public GeoNet geohazard feeds with deterministic CLI commands and JSON output.

## CLI

```bash

python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quakes --mmi 3 --limit 10

python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quake 2026p386918 --json

python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py volcanoes --json

python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py news --limit 5

```

Commands:

- `quakes [--mmi N] [--min-mag N] [--limit N] [--json]` - recent earthquakes from GeoNet's quake feed

- `quake PUBLIC_ID [--json]` - detail lookup for a publicID

- `volcanoes [--json]` - current volcanic alert levels

- `news [--limit N] [--json]` - recent GeoNet news/bulletins
