OperationId:weather_nws_alert_alert_id

Return a single hazard alert by its NWS identifier. Alert IDs are URN-formatted (for example urn:oid:2.49.0.1.840.0.07a473b0d7a48517a9fc37bbd187447cab318920.001.2) and must be URL-encoded in the path. The response is the flattened CAP payload with full description, instruction, affected zones, and polygon geometry if present. Issued alerts are effectively immutable once published; Sugra caches single-alert responses for an hour. Attribution: NOAA National Weather Service (api.weather.gov).
