georss-qld-bushfire-alert-client
A GeoRSS client library for the Queensland Bushfire Alert feed.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and a permissive license. It solves a specific, well-defined problem (Queensland bushfire alert ingestion with geographic filtering) and is suitable for Home Assistant integrations, emergency alerting systems, or any application needing Queensland fire data.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later.
- Low install friction with a single runtime dependency.
- Active maintenance as of late July 2026, with recent release history since 2019.

What it is and what it does
This is a GeoRSS client library that connects to the Queensland Bushfire Alert Feed and retrieves alert data with geographic and category filtering. It wraps the georss_client dependency to handle feed parsing, coordinate-based filtering (radius in kilometers), and category matching, returning alerts as structured entries with properties like geometry, title, status, and distance to home coordinates.
The library also provides a Feed Manager that tracks changes across successive updates, identifying new alerts, updated entries, and removed alerts by comparing external IDs. It maintains timestamps for both the last successful update and the latest data timestamp from the feed itself, useful for applications that need to distinguish between intermittent errors and stale data.
Use it for
- Monitor bushfires within a specified radius of a home location and filter by alert type (e.g., 'Advice', 'Patrolled').
- Build a Home Assistant integration that pushes Queensland bushfire notifications to users based on geographic proximity.
- Track alert lifecycle changes (new, updated, resolved) over time using the Feed Manager for event-driven alerting.
- Aggregate Queensland bushfire data into a dashboard or mobile app with location-aware filtering.
- Implement automated emergency response workflows triggered by specific bushfire alert categories and distances.
