West Sussex Fire Service has rolled out a new questionnaire to gather insights on the key risks that most concern residents and workers across the county.
Council bosses say the survey plays a vital role in shaping the service’s upcoming Community Risk Management Plan for 2026 to 2030.
The feedback aims to help the fire service allocate the necessary resources to keep people in West Sussex safe.
Cabinet Member for Community Support, Fire & Rescue Duncan Crow said: “This is your opportunity to share your views on what you think works really well here in West Sussex as well as highlight any areas that you think the fire service should be focusing on in the years to come.
“The input to this survey will help the service shape its next CRMP for the rest of the decade.”
Chief Fire Officer Sabrina Cohen-Hatton said: “As a fire and rescue service, we are continually analysing and assessing the risks within our communities to ensure that we have the right resources in the right place at the right time to keep the people living in our communities safe.
“As we begin preparing for our next CRMP we are really keen to hear from you as to the things that concern you most, particularly around emerging risks, such as those posed by climate change and new technologies.
“I would encourage everyone to take five minutes to share their views as part of this survey to ensure that we can continue to keep our communities safe.”
You can complete the questionnaire online on the WSFRS website, or if you would like to fill in a printed survey please call 01243 786211.
