1 Incorporate the inspection and
management of trees into the
University's routine maintenance
process to remove trees that may
increase the risk of power failure
throughout the campus
infrastructure. A significant amount
of property damage during high wind
events and other weather events
results from tree failure. Trees that
fall into utility lines have additional
serious consequences such as
causing power outages, surges, fires
and other damage. The jurisdiction’s
ability to recognize and prevent
hazardous tree conditions (through
inspection, pruning or removal) is the
best defense against problems and
costly damages resulting from tree
failure. Specifically, trees located on
University property, which pose
immediate threats to property, utility
lines or critical facilities should be
addressed.
