Why is emergency different in Central Topeka?
Emergency calls in Central Topeka often involve a tree down on an older home, garage, or a car parked close to the house, since lots here tend to be tight and mature canopy sits close to structures. Overhead lines running through alleys in Potwin and Oakland mean Evergy coordination comes up more often here than in newer parts of the metro. Response tends to be faster in this region simply due to proximity to Topeka-based crews.

How does Potwin's climate affect this service?
Potwin's century-old oak and silver maple canopy is the strongest deadwood and structural-failure signal in the metro once Tornado Alley's spring wind season arrives, since decades of unbroken growth mean more high deadwood and more co-dominant limbs than a younger tree carries. Ice load from a storm on the scale of January 2007 is the single biggest threat to this canopy, and hot summers combined with periodic drought add slow, cumulative stress that shows up as dieback years later.. Emergency calls in Central Topeka often involve a tree down on an older home, garage, or a car parked close to the house, since lots here tend to be tight and mature canopy sits close to structures.
What should I do first if a tree falls on a power line?
Stay well away from the tree and the line and call Evergy before calling a tree crew. A downed line can still be energized even if it looks inert, and utility crews need to de-energize the line before any tree work happens near it.
