Inspect trees for broken branches. If the limb is high up, hire a licensed arborist. If you can reach it from the ground, take it down using the three-cut technique, which prevents bark from tearing and creating an open wound on the trunk:

Make the first cut 1 to 2 feet from the branch collar, sawing a quarter way through the bottom of the branch.
Make the second cut 3 inches farther out from the first, sawing all the way through the branch.
Make the final cut just beyond the branch collar, sawing from the top down.

Inspect for roots poking through the soil, a possible sign that the tree is starting to list.
