We are unable to help you with downed trees, but the above numbers can. Please don’t tweet at us, or any public safety account, with information about downed trees! These accounts are not monitored 24/7.
Once again breaking our Twitter silence in the interest of public safety.
-if a tree is touching wires, do not touch it! Call 911!
-if a tree is in the right of way, call 911!
-if a tree is down in a public park and not hitting wires, structures, or blocking traffic, call 311.
Coming out of our Twitter silence to remind you to call 911 if you see trees in roadways or on wires. Don’t attempt to move them yourself. If you see trees downed in our great parks, report to 311 unless it’s damaging property.
Stay safe out there.
