NWR:ICE...IMPORTANT

Subject: I.C.E. In Case of Emergency

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 number. 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!

Please pass this one along.

lol......this is kind of funny, b/c I work both sides of 911 (I'm a cop AND a paramedic) and I have NEVER heard this......what a GREAT idea!!!!

I am definitely passing it along -- I can't tell you how much time I have spent in the phone books of patients who are unresponsive with no family around in an attempt to find loved ones......or when I have a drunk or drugged up perp who needs family to be contacted!

Brilliant!!!! Thanks!!!!
