To aid in cleanup efforts after Wednesday’s storm, the City has established several free drop sites for storm-damaged vegetation. “For the most up-to-date list of open storm debris drop sites, please visit missoula.co/storm.”
Public safety remains a top priority, with several area parks—including Bonner, Franklin, Greenough, Northside, Westside, and Sacajawea—closed due to hazardous tree damage. City officials strongly urge residents to exercise extreme caution in all parks and natural areas, as the risk of falling trees and branches remains high in the storm’s aftermath.
Please do not call 9-1-1 to report trees blocking the right-of-way. City residents can report downed trees at www.missoulaparks.org or phone 406-552-6253. Do not touch downed power lines, trees or structures which are entangled in power lines.
The City has designated several free drop sites for storm-damaged vegetation. Residents are encouraged to wait until streets are cleared and power is restored before bringing storm vegetation to the dump sites. Missoula is currently under an “emergency travel only” advisory. Parks crews are currently working to help clear streets and sidewalks and will address tree hazards when transportation routes are fully restored.
