Firstly, look at your roof and if you notice tree branches nearby, you might want to cut them down. A storm will usually blow those, and they can fall on your property. You should also remove all the debris in the valleys, where the roof connects with other pieces. That can lead to water accumulation and eventually damage a shingled roof.
