Subject: When severe wind or ice storms strike a community, downed trees, power lines, and damaged property are major hindrances to response and recovery. Severely damaged trees often must be removed in a hurry to allow passage of emergency response vehicles, and sometimes only several weeks or months following a storm does the amount of damage and loss of trees become apparent. This publication is a guide for local governments in coping with such events. It discusses mitigation, preparing for and responding to natural disasters, cleaning up and "regreening" a community, working with disaster relief organizations, the experiences of mid-west communities in recovering from tornado damage, community experiences with Hurricane Andrew, and technical resources and information
