GovBot Public Record Briefs

Read-only briefing cards that summarise U.S. public records: FEMA disaster declarations, USGS earthquakes, National Weather Service local storm flood reports, FDA and NHTSA recalls, and FEMA notices in the Federal Register. Each card gives a headline, a short summary, its figures with the publisher, dataset and retrieval date of each, the records looked for and not found, a link to the primary record and a link to the issuing agency. No account or sign-in is required.

Not an official alert or warning. The cards summarise public records for situational awareness only. They are not alerts, warnings, evacuation orders or protective-action instructions. For current warnings and official guidance, consult the issuing agency, the National Weather Service and local emergency officials.

Sources

• Federal Emergency Management Agency: disaster and emergency declarations (OpenFEMA) and notices published in the Federal Register.
• U.S. Geological Survey: Earthquake Hazards Program event records.
• National Weather Service: Local Storm Reports of floods and flash floods (preliminary and unverified).
• Food and Drug Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: recall records.
• Supporting context named on each card, for example U.S. Census Bureau population estimates, National Flood Insurance Program claims and the National Structure Inventory.

The headline and summary sentences of each card are written with a language model from the retrieved records; every figure is resolved from the records by code and listed with its source. The current cards cover 1 October to 14 November 2026 and were reconstructed on 14 November 2026 from records retrieved on that date, so they can include information published after the event.

Available operations

• List cards, newest first, by topic, two-letter state or territory code and earliest record date.

Scope and support

GovBot is not affiliated with or endorsed by FEMA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Weather Service, the FDA, NHTSA or any government agency. A card is a summary; the agency's own record is authoritative. A missing card or a named absence is not evidence that no event occurred.
