A tree may be removed that has become an imminent threat due to recent storm damage or has already fallen, during the bomb cyclone storm event. If feasible, it is highly recommended that an arborist provides a letter explaining the threat posed by the tree(s).
The City has issued an emergency proclamation in response to the bomb cyclone storm event, providing flexibility to address threats and clean up. Photo documentation is required.
