⚠️Tree Emergency Response in Progress⚠️ Philadelphia Parks & Recreation arborists and crews are actively responding to fallen trees from last night’s storm. We’re prioritizing blocked roads, trees on homes or cars, and those impacting Parks & Rec sites and summer programs. Other parts of the tree that don’t pose an immediate risk (such as tree trunks and stumps) will be removed later, so our crews can focus on other safety hazards around the city during the extreme weather event. ℹ️To report a tree emergency: 🚨 Call 911 if a tree is blocking a road or has fallen on a home, car, or property. 🚨Call PECO (800-841-4141) if wires are involved. 🚨Use 311 for non-emergency tree issues. 🪾Our trained arborists are focused on clearing the most urgent hazards to keep the public safe.
