I.C.E = In Case of an Emergency Thought I would pass this along. Seems like a great idea! As seen in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/17/AR2005071700879.html ICE ADVICE Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving has agreed to be your ICE partner 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 partner’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 either your mother or father or an immediate member of your family authorised to make decisions on your behalf – for example if you need a life or death operation
This was on the Early show this morning. They interviewed the guy who came up with the idea. Only caught bits and pieces of this while getting ready for work.
