As the storm moves out of our area and travel becomes safe, any roadway that is blocked by fallen trees and debris is the county's responsibility. Both Montgomery County and Harris County operate within the Woodlands Township boundary lines. Each county has precincts that provide government services. Residents may contact the county directly to have storm debris removed. Do not call 911 to report downed trees unless it is an emergency.
