FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE City of Buckhannon • Upshur County Commission Unified Emergency Response to the Flood of July 21

Beginning Monday, October 12, 2026, the City of Buckhannon and the Upshur County Commission will provide residents affected by the July 21 flooding with two free gallons of ShockWave by Fiberlock, thanks to the generosity of the West Virginia Southern Baptist Disaster Relief organization.

ShockWave is a professional-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant and cleaner widely used for mold mitigation and post-flood sanitation. This distribution is part of the unified emergency response supporting Upshur County families as they continue restoring their homes.

Distribution Details - Flood survivors may receive two gallons of ShockWave, provided in a sprayer, while supplies last:
Buckhannon Fire Department
22 S. Florida Street
Buckhannon WV 26201

Pickup times: Monday–Friday, Noon to 6:00 p.m.
Residents with an appropriate sprayer are encouraged to bring it to be filled.
Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - Based on manufacturer guidance from Fiberlock.com, individuals applying ShockWave should use:

• Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or equivalent)
• Eye protection (safety goggles or face shield)
• Protective clothing (long sleeves, long pants; disposable coveralls recommended in heavy contamination areas)
• Respiratory protection is appropriate for mold remediation — typically an N95 respirator or higher, depending on mold severity and ventilation
Additional Safety Precautions - To ensure safe and effective use:
• Maintain adequate ventilation during application.
• Do not mix ShockWave with other cleaning agents or chemicals.
• Remove and discard porous materials that cannot be fully dried or cleaned.
• Keep children and pets away from treated areas until surfaces are fully dry.
• Follow all label instructions for dwell time, dilution (if applicable), and re-entry intervals.

A Community Effort - The City of Buckhannon and the Upshur County Commission sincerely appreciate Roy Polmanteer, State Disaster Relief Coordinator for the West Virginia Convention of Southern Baptists, whose leadership and partnership made this resource available to Upshur County residents.
Officials remain committed to supporting flood survivors throughout the recovery process and will continue coordinating resources as they become available.

Coordinated Release Issued By: City of Buckhannon • Upshur County Commission • Upshur County Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Management

It’s that time again! 🩸🩹

WVU Medicine St. Joseph’s Hospital and the Rotary Club of Buckhannon Upshur will once again partner to offer a series of affordable community blood screenings this fall, providing residents with an easy way to monitor important health indicators.

The screenings will be offered by appointment only at two locations:

• St. Joseph’s Hospital, Buckhannon: Oct. 10, 17, 24, 31
• Community Care of Rock Cave, Rock Cave: Nov. 7

The basic blood profile screening costs $35 and includes several key tests commonly used to assess overall health. Additional optional tests will also be available for an added fee, including thyroid screening (TSH), colon cancer screening, hemoglobin A1C for diabetes, PSA prostate cancer screening for men, Hepatitis C antibody testing, and Vitamin D testing.

Participants are asked to fast for 12 hours prior to their screening. Payment is accepted by cash or personal check, and test results will be available through MyWVUChart or mailed directly to participants’ homes.

Appointments are required, and walk-ins will not be accepted.
Community members may schedule their screening appointment online at: https:RotaryBloodScreening.as.me/

The annual blood screening initiative is part of Rotary’s commitment to promoting health and wellness in the community.
