Emergency Tree Referral Network

Your home needs a plan.
Not just a chainsaw.

ETRN stands for Emergency Tree Referral Network. This site collects homeowner requests for emergency tree-removal assistance. A request starts a review; it is not an emergency-services call or a confirmed booking. Removal planning considers the tree, roof, access and equipment needed.

Emergency services

One step at a time

What happens next.

Share your request

Tell us what happened and where. Photos are optional and should only be taken from a safe place.

Discuss damage, availability and terms

The damage, access, equipment, availability and payment terms need to be discussed with you. Saving a request does not confirm dispatch.

Confirm a plan before work

Confirm the removal approach, scope and agreed terms before authorizing work. Your insurer determines coverage.

TREE IMPACT · EQUIPMENT · DAMAGE DOCUMENTATION

When a Tree Comes Through Your Roof, You Need More Than a Tree Service.

Roof impact can involve structural damage and a tree under tension. The removal plan must account for the roof, tree position, safe access and specialized lifting equipment.

Answers without the overwhelm

A few things you may be wondering.

What should I do if a tree is on my house?

Move away from the damaged area. If the structure is unsafe, evacuate and call 911. Assume downed wires are live. Do not climb onto the roof or attempt to cut the tree.

Will my insurance cover removal?

Coverage depends on your policy, the cause of the damage, and your insurer’s assessment. Documentation can support the process, but coverage and approval cannot be promised.

How quickly can a crew get here?

Your location, storm conditions, safe access, equipment and available crews determine the response. Sending a request does not guarantee dispatch or arrival.

Do I pay at the time of service?

Qualifying insurance-covered work may be eligible for no payment at the time of service under an agreed arrangement. Eligibility, coverage, deductibles and any amounts due must be confirmed before work.

Does a saved request mean a crew is coming?

No. Saving confirms receipt only. Review, availability, dispatch and the plan must be confirmed separately. The form does not notify 911.
