ROOF SNOW LOAD
After the recent snowstorms and a warmer, wetter pattern forecasted, there are concerns about the wet snow and precipitation adding to the snow load on structures, especially in higher elevations. Residents are urged to clear roofs of excessive snow and ice buildup, being careful not to damage vents and electrical supplies to the building. Clearing the roof can be dangerous; residents are advised to leave this work to professionals. Be aware that a roof may collapse with little or no warning. The following warning signs could indicate that you have a danger of roof collapse. You should immediately evacuate the building and notify your local building official, Fire Department, or contact a structural engineer to determine if the building is safe if you observe the following:

• Severe or new roof leaks.
• Cracked or split wood members.
• Bends or ripples in metal supports.
• Recent cracks in walls, gypboard, or masonry.
• Cracks in welds of steel construction.
• Sprinkler heads pushed down below ceiling tiles.
• Doors that pop open.
• Doors or windows that are difficult to open.
• Bowed utility pipes or conduits attached to the ceiling; or creaking, cracking, or popping sounds.

FALLING TREES AND BRANCHES

With high winds in the forecast and saturated soils, always be aware for the potential of falling trees and branches.
