Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE.

 

ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do.

 

Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately.

ICE your cell phone NOW!

From another discussion board:

 

"Our State Safety Manager contacted Delaware's Fire Marshall and there is one step more to this initiative. They suggest that you place a decimal point in front of the letters so that this entry is the first to show in the phone number list."

Thanks, am passing it on to the Troop and the engineers that I work with. What a great a simple idea.
