This workshop will build awareness of the processes, contracts and coordination needed to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters affecting our urban forests. Trees are a major component of storm debris and proper management before and after a storm can dramatically reduce the amount of debris, increase compensation for debris removals, and ensure restoration of lost tree cover. Learn about how to use tree risk assessment to prepare, create standing contracts and plan for storm debris to respond, and include trees in your emergency planning processes as well as upcycle storm debris.
Intended Audience: City, town, county managers, urban planners, municipal arborists, public works staff or directors, and emergency management staff.
