What if you have an accident and are seriously injured - how does emergency or hospital personnel contact your loved ones, family or friends?
Who do they call In Case of Emergeny?
The idea is to use “ICE“. Store the word ICE in your cell phone address book and enter the number of the person(s) you want contacted in an emergency.
In an crisis situation, emergency and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find a number for your spouse, next of kin or close friend and have a number to contact them.
ICE -it’s as simple as that. If you want more than one contact use ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
I’ve also read a good strategy, besides using ICE1, ICE2, etc, is to use the Home, Mobile, Work entries in your address book, if it supporst that. So you have one ICE entry but with 3-4 relevant numbers via the address book.
I keep meaning to do this and keep forgetting. Maybe I’ll get on that tonight.
