Weather Emergencies, Downed Trees, And What To Do With That Holiday Tree

HEALDSBURG, CA — The few days of 2026 will bring rain, rain, and more rain, with frosty nights giving way to another — but not quite so heavy — atmospheric river beginning New Year's Eve.

Although forecasts call for lighter rains, nuisance flooding, downed trees, and power outages are still possible, according to Healdsburg officials.

For help with flooding, downed trees (not blocking a roadway), or power outages, residents should call the Healdsburg 24/7/365 Emergency Utility Hotline at (707) 431-7000. For emergencies that threaten life or property, call 9-1-1.

Other dates and services:

The Healdsburg holiday tree recycling drop-off opened Dec. 29. Trees are welcome until Jan. 16. It's more convenient than waiting until the spring holidays to take down the tree.

City offices, closed for the holidays, reopen Jan. 5.

More information about upcoming events and resources are available on the Healdsburg City Manager's update.
