NYC Parks is urging residents to report hazardous tree conditions as scattered thunderstorms move through the city and may cause trees falling and tree damage.

The agency said dangerous tree conditions should be reported through the NYC Parks website, the NYC Tree Map, or by calling 3-1-1.

During storms, local emergency and volunteer response groups are often quick to assist by cutting branches, clearing blocked areas, and helping make the area safer.

However, when damaged trees or cut branches are in public areas, residents have to report it through the city so the proper crews can respond and complete the cleanup.

NYC Parks reminded residents to stay cautious around damaged trees, hanging branches, and storm-related debris until the area is properly cleared, and are encouraged to report a tree which looks to be in a sensitive condition.
