In the ‘why didn’t I think of that department: ‘ICE’ Cell Phone Plan Would Help Rescuers.


Now a simple initiative, conceived by a paramedic in Britain, has gained momentum on both sides of the Atlantic to try to solve this problem. Cell users are being urged to put the acronym ICE — "in case of emergency" — before the names of the people they want to designate as next of kin in their cell address book, creating entries such as "ICE — Dad" or "ICE — Alison."

This is a great idea, and is going into all our phones.  This tip is from FFM, and his additional idea is worth seeing.

  1. I like that idea!

    My medic alert subscription includes a list of emergency contacts, but sometimes I forget to wear it. Maybe I should put the Medic Alert number into my cell phone with ICE in front of that too.
