For this valuation, you have to do a bit of reverse math.  If you are looking to get reimbursed for the removal, you can enter the amount you had to pay as the value before disaster and zero immediately after.  The loss has to reflect what the damage caused- so for example, if the trees were on their last leg and you would have had to pay for removal anyway, it would be different than there were there, but you incurred the expenses because of the hurricane.
