Forwarded message from a group chat of environmental professionals.

"Hey guys, just a PSA. I've heard indirectly from employees of NREL, the US Fish and Wildlife Services, and National Resource Conservation Service that their databases will be taken offline tonight. I'm not sure what the extent of this will be, but it may be good to download/back up any critical data/material you use from those agencies just in case if you're able, and probably other related gov agencies as well.

Can confirm. Also a message from a friend: A note for people who use GitHub, if you fork a repository that is public, if the initial repository gets deleted the fork will remain. If you fork a repository that was originally public and it goes private and then it is deleted that fork will still exist. If you use GitHub, I strongly recommend forking your government repositories.

Heads up, we heard the database situation from: NREL, EIA, NRCS, and USFWS"
