Other Information:

BU Emergency Services Study – The City of Buckhannon and the Upshur County Commission have partnered with one another to conduct a strategic planning study of the delivery of emergency services throughout the city and the unincorporated areas of the county. We need your help!

Our residents and businesses benefit the most from the services provided by our emergency agencies. We want to know how you think we are doing in providing those services and where you think we are facing challenges. We also want to know if you think there is anything specific we can do to improve our emergency services to you.

The survey is very short, and it should only take a few minutes to complete. Responses are anonymous, though if you wish to participate in potential future public outreach, there is a link that directs you to a separate website where you can register to be notified of that future outreach.
