An Initial Storm Damage Assessment Protocol for Urban and Community Forests

"The storm assessment protocol that is presented here is applicable to natural disasters where similar amounts and type of damage are present over an entire community. Where damage is limited to localized areas, which often occurs with windstorms or floods, other approaches to estimating storm damage may be needed; one of these approaches is also presented.



This protocol was intended primarily for populated areas with streets, but it can be adapted to rural roads as well as to areas without lined up trees." [from Methods introduction]
