Laurens County Emergency Management is announcing a transition in their emergency notification system from CodeRED to Regroup Mass Notification. This change reflects the commitment of Laurens County Emergency Management’s efforts to improve communication, reliability, and public safety for residents, businesses, and visitors.

Following the conclusion of the County’s most recent service agreement with CodeRED, County officials conducted a review of available emergency communication platforms. After carefulconsideration, Laurens County Emergency Management will implement Regroup as the new mass notification system.

Regroup offers enhanced capabilities, including improved message delivery speed, expanded communication channels (such as text, email, and voice alerts), and a more reliable platform fordisseminating critical information during emergencies and important community updates.

The implementation process for Regroup was completed in late April, and the system is expected to be fully operational with public alerts beginning no later than May 11, 2026.During the transition period, residents are encouraged to stay informed through the Laurens County Emergency Management’s official website, social media, and “Enotify” on the Laurens County SC website.
