ICE Your Cell Phone
The I.C.E. (in
case of emergency) system for highlighting emergency contacts in a cell
phonebook was the brainchild of a British paramedic, who has often struggled to get contact details from shocked or injured patients. His
ambulance district in East Anglia and the Vodafone mobile network
launched a campaign encouraging people to enter I.C.E. in front of loved
ones' contact information in their phones so emergency responders know
exactly who to call, right away.
Follow
these hints to get the best out of ICE:
Make
sure your ICE partner has a list of people they should contact on your
behalf - including your place of work
Make
sure your ICE person's number is one that's easy to contact, for example
a home number could be useless in an emergency if the person works full
time
Make
sure your ICE partner knows about any medical conditions that could
affect your emergency treatment - for example allergies or current
medication
Make
sure if you are under 18, your ICE partner is a parent or guardian
authorized to make decision on your behalf - for example if you need a
life or death operation
Should
your preferred contact be deaf, then type ICETEXT then the name of your
contact before saving the number
