If a Tree Has Fallen on Your Central Florida Roof, Evacuate Your Property and Call 911

A fallen tree can cause your central Florida roof to cave in. You must evacuate everyone from your property in case your roof collapses. Familiarize yourself with all of your building’s exits and make sure everyone can access one.

With everyone out of the building, you should call 911. You can inform these authorities of your situation and they will advise you on what to do. In some instances, they may send out a public utility representative or a fire crew. A fallen tree may bring power lines down with it, so these professionals can address electrical problems or fire damage.

Take as Many Photos as Possible to Document the Damage That Was Incurred

Take pictures of the fallen tree on your roof including long shots and close-ups. Capture as many angles as possible so you have ample evidence of the damage that was incurred. This will give you all the backup you need to ensure no one tries to scam you or take advantage of you during this stressful time.
