The next several slides take a closer look at eligibility considerations for the following common types of vegetative debris:

• Tree limbs or branches
• Trees that are still in place but damaged to the extent they pose an immediate threat
• Stumps

While hazardous limbs, trees, and stumps are generally eligible to receive funding, debris removal activities for vegetative debris are generally not eligible when:

• The hazard existed prior to the incident
• The hazard occurred in a natural area and does not extend over improved property or public-use areas (such as trails, sidewalks, or playgrounds)
• The activity is routine maintenance (e.g., pruning, trimming, landscaping)
