    Default Do you have an ICE contact in your cell phone?

    Some of you have probably already heard of this, but it can't hurt to spread the word.

    In Case of Emergency, or ICE, is a program that enables first responders, such as paramedics, firefighters, and police officers, to identify victims and contact their next of kin to obtain important medical information. 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 address book under the name "ICE". Alternately, a person can list multiple emergency contacts as "ICE1", "ICE2", etc. The popularity of the program has spread across Europe, and has started to grow into North America.

    I always thought the Brits meant In Car Entertainment... go figure!

    The other thing is, my phone is always locked - a rescuer wouldn't be able to access my numbers anyhow.
