Dear Urban Forestry Professional, 

Storms are a significant part of our decisions about how to manage urban trees. We invite you to participate in an important survey about urban forest management and storms. This research is important to better understand professionals' risk perceptions, communication needs, opportunities for collaboration, and general challenges with managing urban forests for storm events.

The survey is completely voluntary and will take ~ 15 minutes of your time. You can withdraw consent by stopping the survey at any time. This survey is approved by the University of Florida's IRB ( # IRB202101044). Thank you for agreeing to participate in this survey! Your responses are very important and will help to improve the overall management of urban forests and storms.
