nfhl_layers
Pack: fema-nfhl · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fema-nfhl/mcp
No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nfhl_layers for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
List every layer in the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer MapServer with its id, name and geometry type, plus a plain-English guide to the layers that matter (flood hazard zones, base flood elevations, LOMRs, LOMAs, FIRM panels, levees, NFHL availability). Call this before nfhl_query.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
filter | string | no | Case-insensitive substring to filter layer names, e.g. “flood”, “levee” |
