The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is encouraging residents
to give the free, year-long gift of peace of mind this holiday season by
registering an emergency contact. Emergency Notice is an online emergency
contact registry accessible to law enforcement officials to know who you would
like to be notified in case of a serious emergency. Kentucky citizens with an
active driver’s license, personal ID, or permit can submit a contact name and
phone number online by visiting drive.ky.gov and clicking the Emergency Notice
link. KYTC teamed up with Kentucky State Police and the Department of Criminal
Justice Training to encourage Kentuckians to designate a preferred contact
using this free, optional service. Contact information is accessible to both in
and out-of-state law enforcement officials who have the authority to search
driving records and it is only used for emergency purposes.
