## Description

You can't prepare for an emergency using generic checklists that don't account for your actual house. This MCP changes that by letting your AI client process your specific floor plan and local safety requirements to build a plan that actually fits your life. Instead of guessing which room is safest, you provide your layout and the AI uses this tool to evaluate room suitability based on window placement and interior access. It goes beyond just finding a spot to hide; it helps you decide exactly where to stage water, food, and first aid kits so they are reachable when you need them. You can also use it to check if your communication plan holds up for everyone in the house, from infants to elderly family members. It turns vague guidance into a set of specific, actionable steps for your household.

Generate a shelter-in-place plan for my family of three (two adults, one infant) in a two-story house with a basement, following local guidance to stay in an interior room.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your primary shelter location is the interior hallway on the ground floor. You should move all supplies, including infant care items, to this location. Ensure the door is sealed and stay tuned to your battery radio.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the living room safe for sheltering if the official guidance requires an interior room with no windows?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the living room is not safe because it contains windows, which violates the requirement for an interior room.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Where should I put my water bottles and first aid kit for the shelter plan?
```

**Response:**

The water bottles and first aid kit should be placed in the designated safe room on the ground floor to ensure they are immediately accessible during the emergency.
