The recent, devastating tornado activity across Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas illustrates the importance of outside assistance in helping communities get back to some sort of normalcy as quickly as possible. Local tree care companies play an important part in the restoration efforts, but often they are overwhelmed with the magnitude of the need. That is where companies in Tree Care Industry Association’s “Storm Network” step in.
The Storm Network is a list of TCIA members willing to help out other TCIA members in their time of need. TCIA uses information on company personnel and equipment capabilities to compile a database of TCIA member companies available for storm work. Participating companies can search the Storm Network on tcia.org to find each other and develop working relationships to respond when the time arises. There is also an online community that participants can access with helpful resources for doing storm work.
To find out more or to join the Storm Network, go to member.tcia.org/storm-network/.
Please keep in mind, it takes 24 hours once the form is completed to gain access
