Watch Out for Falling Trees

Watch out for falling trees!An Ongoing Alert for heightened danger from falling dead trees remains in effect in many areas of the National Forests. There are over 100 million trees killed or weakened by drought and bark beetles that are a falling hazard. Please be cautious when visiting National Forests, especially in the southern and central Sierra Nevada, where mortality has been highest. Trees can fall anywhere at any time. Be vigilant of possible hazards and remember the Watch Out tips (PDF  1092 KB).

Traveling and Recreating in a Burned Area

A burned landscape presents a number of safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or have been exacerbated by the effects of the fire. In some cases these hazardous conditions may persist for several years after a fire. Be very aware of your surroundings, follow warning signs, area closures and directions from agency personnel, and pay particular attention to these potential post-fire safety hazards(PDF version 541 KB)
