Daviess County to Launch Emergency Notification App for Enhanced Public Safety
Daviess County, Kentucky, is set to launch a new emergency notification app on June 1, 2026. The app, known as the Regroup Mass Notification system, aims to improve the county's ability to communicate directly with residents during emergencies. The app will be free for residents, but they must opt in to receive notifications. It will utilize the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS), allowing officials to send authenticated messages across multiple channels, including mobile phones, radio, and TV. The app also features geo-targeting capabilities to send alerts to specific areas, such as road closures or boil water advisories. County officials emphasize the importance of residents opting in to maximize the app's effectiveness.
