Emergency Tree
Care Guide
When a tree fails, seconds count. This library is designed to help property owners understand the signs of imminent tree failure, how to respond to storm damage, and when a tree constitutes a true emergency in Southern California.
Why Emergency Preparedness Matters
Southern California experiences unique weather extremes—from prolonged droughts that weaken root systems to sudden atmospheric rivers and Santa Ana wind events that test the structural integrity of every mature tree.
Understanding how to identify a hazardous tree before it falls can save property and lives. Our guides will teach you what to look for, how to assess risk, and when to call a Certified Arborist immediately.

Storm Damage
Immediate response for trees damaged by heavy rains, flooding, or severe weather systems.

Hazardous Trees
Identification and safe removal of trees that pose an imminent threat to structures, power lines, or people.

High Wind Damage
Santa Ana winds can cause catastrophic branch failure. We secure and remove broken limbs safely.

Cracked or Splitting Trunks
Structural failures require immediate assessment to determine if the tree can be cabled or must be removed.
