STAY CLEAR. STAY SAFE.

Immediate danger? Call 911.

If someone is injured or trapped, you smell gas, or your home appears unsafe, leave the area if you can do so safely and call 911. A tree-removal request is not a substitute for emergency services.

Assume downed power lines are live

Stay far away from wires, trees touching wires, and anything in contact with them. Keep other people and pets away. Contact 911 and your electric utility. Do not try to move, cut, or test a line.

Move away from the impact area

Stay out of rooms under or next to the damaged roof. Sagging ceilings, cracks, shifting walls, and unusual sounds may indicate instability. If there is any doubt about structural safety, evacuate and follow instructions from emergency responders.

Do not cut or climb

Do not climb onto the roof, walk under the tree, or attempt to remove branches. Trees under tension can move unexpectedly when cut. Keep a clear area around the damage.

Document only when it’s safe

Photos can help with an initial review and insurance documentation. Take them from a safe location outside the impact area. Never approach a hazard just to get a better photo.

This is general safety guidance, not an on-site assessment. Follow your local emergency authorities and utility’s instructions.
