When evidence confirms the presence of diseases or invasive species, such as the Emerald Ash Borer, the Mayor and Council may declare a hazardous tree emergency. During a hazardous tree emergency, the city’s wilt disease and invasive species response plan will guide city policy on tree maintenance, removal and storage of wood. An emergency event will end once the Mayor and Council declare the emergency to be over.
