Please see the below list of contacts for you if you see downed trees or wires.

Life-Threatening

If there’s an immediate threat to life-safety, call 9-1-1.

If a tree falls into your home:

• Get everyone safely out of your house. Then, use your cellphone or go to a neighbor’s house and call 9-1-1. 
• Stay away from the home until public safety employees can access your home for structural safety (as well as ensuring your utilities are OK or should be turned off.) 
• Only after all of these safety measures have taken place should you call your insurance company.
