- Stay away from power lines. Do not touch the tree, branches, fences, water, or equipment near downed or tangled lines.
- Check for immediate danger. If anyone is hurt, trapped, or in danger, call emergency services first.
- Avoid unstable trees and hanging limbs. Storm-damaged trees can shift without warning.
- Take photos from a safe distance. Photos can help explain the problem and may help with quote review.
- Describe what is blocked or damaged. Include whether the tree is blocking a driveway, resting on a structure, leaning toward the home, or near utility lines.
Leaning trees
A tree that suddenly leans after a storm can be a warning sign. Soil may have shifted, roots may have loosened, or the trunk may be damaged.
Cracked limbs
Large hanging limbs can fall later, even after the storm passes. Limbs over roofs, driveways, walkways, fences, or vehicles may need attention.
