Disaster Relief FAQs

What should property owners do first after a storm, hurricane, or wildfire damage?

With any emergency, knowing what to do (and in what order) is the foundation. Often the first steps include:

  • Secure unsafe areas
  • Avoid approaching damaged trees
  • Arrange a professional assessment ASAP

How do I know if a damaged tree needs to be removed?

Damaged trees do not always need to be removed. In some cases, a damaged tree can be salvaged. However, the type of tree and the damage will largely influence how to move forward. Some common signs you need to remove a tree include:

  • Significant lean
  • A split at the trunk
  • Uprooted tree
  • Hollowed out
  • A burned through the trunk
  • Major limb failure
  • Anything that compromises the tree structure

Our team will assess key tree features such as the canopy, trunk, root zone, bark condition, and overall stability. Based on these, we can recommend removal, pruning, treatment, or monitoring.

Can trees recover after wildfire damage?

Surprisingly, many trees with fire damage can recover. Four main factors will influence whether a tree can recover:

  • Severity: More severe fire damage makes recovery less likely.
  • Species: Some species are naturally more resilient to fire damage.
  • Roots: If the roots escape damage, the odds of recovery improve.
  • Condition: The condition of the trunk and crown together influence viability.

Trees with limited bark damage and surviving canopy may survive with targeted care. Our team will do what we can via pruning, irrigation adjustments, soil care, and ongoing monitoring. In contrast, severely burned, unstable, or dead trees may need removal.

How can Monarch help prevent future storm damage?

Preventive measures increase safety and reduce the risk of high-cost damage following natural disasters. Our comprehensive assessments identify properties for risk factors such as:

  • Weak tree branches
  • Overextended limbs
  • Poor tree structure
  • Diseased trees or plants
  • Root issues (health, structure, stability)
  • Clearance concerns near key structure elements

Based on these assessments, we may recommend a variety of actions. Some of the most common steps include pruning, proactive tree removal, soil care, and improved drainage. Each plan is specialized according to your property's unique traits.

Why is a tree health assessment important after a disaster?

Even if you had a pre-disaster assessment, you need another afterward. Damage or changes might not be visible, but they could be there nonetheless. Our team can identify any new or unresolved risks and provide the according proactive adjustments.
