Safety first in North Dakota

Stay well away from any downed wire and anything touching it. Call 911 for injuries or lines down, then the utility.

What you can safely do

  • Stay inside during the storm and away from windows on the side facing large trees.
  • Afterward, look for hangers before walking under any tree.
  • Check whether your city is running a curbside debris program before paying to haul brush.
  • Keep all receipts. Tree work may count toward insurance or disaster-assistance claims.

Leave these to professionals

  • Don't run a chainsaw on wood that's bent, pinned or twisted. It can spring violently when cut.
  • Don't approach any tree near downed lines. Lines can be live even when the power is out.
  • Don't hire a company that wants full payment before starting.
