Field notes
The page applies explicit freshness rules to online status: an official post must be within 36 hours to receive an open or closed label, while feeds not refreshed in 24 hours are treated cautiously. Most listed areas are hotline-only, and the site directs visitors to confirm with the relevant official hotline. Its map is described as stylized and approximate, not for navigation.
