Kentucky is launching an online emergency contact registry. “Emergency Notice” provides law enforcement officials the ability to access contact information in the case of a serious vehicle crash.
Matt Henderson is commissioner for the State Department of Vehicle Regulation. “What if you are in a car accident on one of Kentucky’s highways and you are unresponsive and your phone was not present. Maybe it was destroyed in the accident or not available. Would first responders and bystanders know who to contact?” asked Henderson.
The contact information is integrated into the cardholder’s driving record. Kentuckians may submit one contact and that person or information may be changed at any time. Information can be submitted through the Emergency Notice portal on the drive.ky.gov website.
