Just to make sure everyone knows what this is I thought we needed a thread on it. It could save a life. On your cell phone you have a address book. Well you should have a contact called simply "ICE". Heaven forbid you get in a accident and you are unable to talk this will help out rescuers locate your loved ones.

According to the EMS:

ICE, (In case of emergency) enables first responders, such as police, fire and paramedics to identify victims and enable contact with next of kin , guardians or other entrusted persons to obtain important medical information or make emergency notifications . (The ICE concept gained international attention in July 2005 after the London Terrorist Bombings.) The program was conceived in the mid-2000s and promoted by British paramedic Bob Brotchie in May 2005. It encourages people to enter emergency contacts in their cell phone contacts list under the name "ICE". Since then it has developed significantly more roles and usefulness as a preparedness tool and a free "public service" administered by ICE4SAFETY. While the original concept of ICE encouraged people to enter emergency contacts in their cell phone address book under the name "ICE", this practice has since evolved into a new international standard advanced by ICE4SAFETY and EMS Options, along with the advent of smart-ICE applications for smart-phones.

Now if you have a iPhone there is a app for that Big Grin
