Community Forest Storm Mitigation Planning

Trees are an important part of our community’s infrastructure. They provide us with many valuable and irreplaceable environmental, economic, and social benefits. But, during a storm, our trees are also at risk and can cause significant damage not only to infrastructure but also to personal property.
Community Forest Storm Mitigation plans serve as a guide for assessing current storm readiness, for creating a summary of your community’s current forest management program and as a storm mitigation checklist.
A Community Forest Storm Mitigation Planning Workbook and Template are available at this link on Georgia Forestry Commission's website.
PowerPoint presentations from community forest storm mitigation workshops are available here.
