If a tree is touching a power line, stay clear of the tree and call Pepco at 1-877-737-2662.

City of Rockville residents with tree emergencies, such as a tree blocking a roadway or driveway, should call 240-314-8700. 

Rockville residents should place storm debris at the curb for crews to collect. "Branches should be no more than eight feet long and should easily clear overhead power lines and trees so they can be accessed by Rockville's heavy equipment vehicles," according to a city news release.
