I came across this on a different forum and thought it would be a good idea...
ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory, but how many of the people we ride with will know which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends?
If we were to be involved in an accident, the people attending us might have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call... there are hundreds of numbers stored, but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of
Emergency) Campaign.
The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' (In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE.'
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE 1, ICE 2, and ICE 3. If your phone allows it, add names or titles to assist the person dialing (ie: "ICE 1 - Mom" or "ICE 2 - Judy")
You should also reconsider having a "password" on your phone to unlock it.
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today! Spread the word.
ICE can speak for you when you are not able.
Another way so it is on top of your contacts _ICE (the little dash will move it to the top)
My husband and I both have a app called COZI family locator, what it is is a GPS locator and in the case of a emergency we have a red panic button that will call him and local police if needed. There is a ton of other apps out there but I like the ICE idea better. Just my 2 cents...
