==Reminder on tips for reporting down trees or limbs in the roadway==

Tree down over road? Report location and size.

If you see limbs or trees blocking traffic please contact our offices to report. If during regular office hours please leave a detailed message and include a call back number if additional information is requested or needed.

If you come across a road hazard after hours, please report those directly to central dispatch at 269-983-3060 or 911 for emergencies.

**Please always report trees by including a detailed location, the approximate size (diameter, length) of limb or tree, and indicate to the call taker if any utility lines are involved. Those limbs with utility lines must first be addressed by the utility company prior to the tree being cut up and road reopened to traffic.

**Do not report time sensitive hazards after hours or over the weekend to Road Department offices, as that message will not be received until the office reopens. Social media is also not closely monitored over the weekends or after hours.
