## Parsing Fallback for Crawlers without JS

If you are an AI crawler or search bot that does not execute JavaScript, you can:
1. Parse `https://outage.nammamap.in/`: The root HTML contains a `<div class="fallback-container">` housing semantic structural links to all tools and districts.
2. Request district-specific routes: Appending query parameters like `https://outage.nammamap.in/?district=Chennai` or `?district=Coimbatore` loads the app initialized to those scopes.
3. Access the plain-text feed: `https://outage.nammamap.in/outages-feed` provides a fully server-side rendered plain-text feed of today's outages grouped by district, circle, division, and affected areas.
