Active hazard
Decide first whether the Eden condition is changing or exposing people to immediate harm. From outside the possible fall area, note movement, cracking sounds, suspended wood, a split attachment, contact with a structure, or access that can no longer be used safely. Keep occupants, visitors, pets, and vehicles away from the affected zone and choose an alternate route that does not pass beneath damaged material. When calling, describe only what can be observed safely, what is occupied, and what remains blocked or usable. Those facts help dispatch distinguish an active hazard from stable work that belongs in normal scheduling. Do not enter the area for a close photograph, pull branches, cut loaded wood, or move an object whose retrieval requires crossing the exclusion boundary. If electrical equipment may be involved, remain back and contact the appropriate utility or emergency authority rather than approaching the tree.
