The City of Erie has officially declared a State of Emergency following severe weather that caused significant damage throughout the City on September 2 and 3.

City crews have been working hard to assess damage and clear roadways. The City’s immediate priority is clearing streets from curb to curb to ensure safe passage for residents and emergency responders.

🌳 Downed Trees and Debris
- City crews are aware of all downed trees in the City of Erie.
- If a tree has fallen into a city street, City crews will respond and work to clear it. Residents should not attempt to remove trees from roadways themselves.
- Residents with storm debris should place it between the curb and sidewalk for collection.
- Residents should stay away from downed trees, as they may be under tension or in contact with electrical lines.
- If a tree has fallen onto a home or caused significant property damage, residents should contact their insurance company. If you are trapped in your home or facing immediate emergency, call 911.

Branches and Trees on City Property
- If a tree or large branch is down in a city boulevard, residents should report it by calling Matthew Falcone at 814-923-3597 for assessment and removal.
- If a tree on private property is leaning or otherwise presents a potential hazard, residents should contact Matthew Falcone at 814-923-3597 or a certified arborist to have the tree assessed.

⚡ Power Lines
- Stay away from all downed power lines. Treat every downed line as energized and call 911 to report it.

🗑️ Refuse collection remains on its normal schedule.

Due to storm damage and ongoing safety assessments, 15 City parks and facilities are closed until further notice. See the full list at https://www.erie.pa.us/community/public_safety.php.

Residents are urged to use extreme caution at all other City parks and recreational facilities as crews continue to clear storm-related hazards.
