# Coverage

**Coverage** describes where AURA can respond for a given response type —
useful to check before onboarding a customer or creating a callout there.

Coverage is exposed as a downloadable **KML map** of coverage polygons:
[`GET /panic-api/v2/coverage/{responseTypeId}`](/api-reference/coverage/get-coverage-kml)
returns an XML (KML) document — not JSON — containing one placemark per coverage
polygon.

To answer *"is this point covered?"* in your own system:

1. Fetch the KML for the relevant response type (get IDs from
   [List response types](/api-reference/response-types/list-response-types)).
2. Run a point-in-polygon test against the document's placemark coordinates
   (most geo libraries can ingest KML directly).
3. Refresh the document periodically — coverage changes as the responder
   network grows.

Alternatively, render the KML on a map (Google Earth/Maps and most GIS tools
accept it natively) to visualise coverage for operations teams.
