<br /> Looking at each of the Incident Types and Event Titles, we can see that each of these major
<br /> disasters intimately involved trees. Orange County residents remember Hurricane Fran or the
<br /> 2002 ice storm primarily because of all of the trees that fell or broke around them. Tropical
<br /> Storm Michael might have been forgotten except for the remnants of all of the large uprooted
<br /> hardwoods still visible in its long aftermath.
<br /> While Orange County and its towns may have publicly funded resources for fire, EMT, and police
<br /> responses, individuals and institutions generally must find private tree companies to deal with
<br /> the fallen trees on their houses, buildings, vehicles, driveways, and yards. From its webpage on
<br /> Disaster/ Emergency Preparedness, consider Orange County's own directives to its residents:
<br /> Dawned Trees & Debris
<br /> o For downed trees and ether debris in a roadway,assure that you are in a safe
<br /> location and call 911
<br /> o For downed trees on private property contact the primary insurer of the
<br /> property and then contact a private debris removal company
<br /> If you hope for help from public emergency services, then hope that your tree emergency
<br /> involves a roadway. Since, however, most of the trees that fall or break do not do so on a public
<br /> roadway, most emergency responses for fallen or broken trees depend on the services of
<br /> private tree companies such as the Treeist.
<br /> Realizing that our clients and community rely on us to respond to emergencies, we are available
<br /> to respond every day of every week without exception or holiday. Monitoring weather
