Report a Tree Emergency

Know when and who to call to report a Tree related emergency

CALL 911

If a tree falls during a storm and it’s blocking a road, or it has fallen on a house, car or other property, CALL 911.

Arborists from Hartford’s Forestry Division are on-call to respond to tree emergencies. They will come out to remove hazards and any part of a tree that is an immediate risk to public safety. Other parts of the tree that don’t pose an immediate risk (such as tree trunks and stumps) will be removed at a later time so crews can focus on other safety hazards around the city.
