Some questions I have:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Are there existing APIs or open datasets that already track this info?<\/li>\n<li>If not, what would be the best way to scrape government\/park websites that post closure announcements?<\/li>\n<li>For anyone who\u2019s done similar projects: how do you handle the fact that every agency posts things in different formats?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Any tools, techniques, or data source suggestions would be super helpful.
