I saw this short snippet in the June '07 issue of Mobile World magazine, and thought it might be useful to share it here.
I didn't know that ICE was a well-known term amongst rescue workers. It would do us all well to add this in, eh?
Spread the word, people.
Do you have your mobile phone near you right now?
Please take a moment to add "ICE" under your contacts. For the phone number, please put in the names of the people you'd want called in case of emergency.
That's what "ICE" stands for - "in case of emergency".
The idea is to let rescue workers, police or doctors check your cell phone and reach the people you would want contacted if you're in an accident or other emergency.
It may help save your life.
Help us spread this message. Tell everyone you know to do the same. And if you work in a related health or rescue agency, educate your colleagues to check for "ICE" the next time there is an emergency situation.
