In this Newsday.com interview, Kevin Sheehan of Davey's Mid Long Island office in New York tells homeowners to identify potential trees hazards before a storm hits.

Homeowners ideally should look for an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, says Kevin Sheehan, Hicksville-based Long Island district manager for The Davey Tree Expert Co. of Ohio. Have them check your trees every few years, which Sheehan says most will do for free.
