New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) FloodNet records, keyless.

What you can do

  • Flood events — street-flooding events recorded at FloodNet sensors since 2020: start/end times, max depth in inches, onset and drain durations and time spent above 4, 12 and 24 inches
  • Sensors by activity — the sensors with the most recorded flood events, ranked
  • Sensor lookup — the installation record for one sensor ID: name, install date, tidal influence, street, borough, geography fields and the lowest-point height delta
  • Sensor list — the installed sensors citywide (about 500), filtered by borough, NTA, ZIP or tidal influence
  • Events per sensor — all recorded events for one sensor with its deepest recorded flood

Who is this for

Flood-risk research, resilience planning, drainage engineering and journalism. Sensor IDs are slugs of the form "BK-richardson-st-n-11th-st-1x59w1" — list_flood_sensors shows installed IDs and names.

5 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

flood_events_by_sensor

The response includes the event count and the deepest recorded flood at that sensor. sensor_id is the full ID slug; lookup_flood_sensor shows installed IDs and their names. Street-flooding events for one FloodNet sensor

list_flood_sensors

About 500 sensors are installed; filter by borough, NTA or ZIP. List FloodNet flood sensor locations

lookup_flood_sensor

g. "Brooklyn"), ZIP, community board, council district, census tract, NTA, the lowest-point height delta in inches and coordinates. sensor_id is the full ID slug — list_flood_sensors shows installed IDs and names. Look up a FloodNet flood sensor installation

search_flood_events

Events have been recorded since 2020 and the dataset is small (a few thousand events) — no date window is applied by default; bound the result with on/after and on/before if needed. Sensor names are of the form "Q - Beach 84 St" (borough-letter prefix + intersection); sensor IDs are slugs (e.g. "BX-ditmars-st-hunter-ave-1kwrk0"). The sensor_name filter is an exact match against the stored name. Search NYC street-flooding events (FloodNet)

top_flood_sensors

Each row is one sensor name with its event count. Use it to find the most flood-prone monitored locations, then drill in with flood_events_by_sensor or lookup_flood_sensor. FloodNet sensors with the most recorded flood events

Which NYC locations have had the most recorded street floods?

top_flood_sensors returns the sensors ranked by the number of recorded flood events; lookup_flood_sensor then shows where a sensor is and flood_events_by_sensor its recorded events.

How deep did the flood get at the Ditmars St / Hunter Ave sensor?

flood_events_by_sensor with the sensor ID returns every recorded event for that sensor plus its deepest recorded flood; search_flood_events with sensor_name: "Ditmars" finds the events across sensors at that intersection.

Show me the most recent street-flooding events citywide.

search_flood_events with no filters returns the events newest first (max depth in inches, onset and drain durations included); add after ("YYYY-MM-DD") to narrow to a period.

No. NYC Open Data serves all public datasets anonymously over its SODA API (data.cityofnewyork.us). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
