Q: ICE..In Case of Emergency

Hello

I didn't know where to put to this so here it is.Anyone who has a cell phone (which is mostly everyone today) should think about putting this in their phones. This is in the event you have accident or are unable to speak and need help ASAP.
ICE stands for:
I- in
C-case
of
E-emergency

You would put in ICE for a contact then you put in the number.
If your contact number is the same as your home number or another number you already have in your phone then you would put in the number and the * symbol after the number, this way the phone will accept the contact and the number doesn't come up as already stored.

If you are using more than one ICE contact you would put in ICE-1, ICE-2, etc...and do the same for the phone number after each entry.

I read an article on this and it saved a persons life. I know the EMT's were asking people to put this info in their phones.
I think this is very important to have in our phones.
We all know the EMT's, police, etc... try to contact someone in the event of an accident, this is one of the quickest ways for them to get in touch with our ICE contacts, if an unfortunate event occurs.

Wonderful idea. You could even program that into you home land line and then you do'nt have to try and remember the number in case you are unable to think straight and just make it #1 (priority). Great idea!.

This can work for any phone or even palm pc.
You can even make a list of your medical problems such as allergies, surgeries, etc..as long as your phone has enough storage room.
I actually put that info on an index card and keep it in my wallet. I did this for each person in my family and now they carry their own index cards with this important information. You know teenagers they don't always think medical stuff is important but they are aware of they need to know their allergies, blood type.
Current med's also is good to have listed someplace in the event you are not conscious. I had my mom do this especially after her surgery.
