FAQ
What should I do with storm debris?
Follow your city’s official instructions. Most cities ask you to separate vegetative debris (branches, leaves) from construction debris and furniture, keep piles out of the street and away from power lines, and wait for the announced pickup dates.
Why only official sources?
After a disaster, rumors spread fast. Every city page here repeats only what the city or county has published, with the date and a link.
