ICE in your mobile phone

This email seems to be doing the rounds at the moment and it seems to be true.
I think it is a good idea so i thought i'd post a quick blog about it so that i have now done my bit in advising others to do the same.

Apparently hospitals and paramedics are requesting that people add an emergency number within their address book under the name of ICE which stands for In Case of Emergency, so that in the event that you are found on the streets unconscious, drunk or perhaps just mad, that the paramedics or the doctors and nurses know who to contact.

I have added ICE-1 Marc, and ICE-2 Mum & Dad as my In Case of Emergency numbers but i guess it's something that you update as things change in your life, ie when we move to Somerset i may add Auntie Emma cos she will be the nearest.


* A Wikipedia entry all about it.
* This link from Snopes.com says it should be used in conjunction with traditional methods, in case for instance you have somebody else's phone.
* This link from The Washington Post says it's a good idea but you must remember to update this number if people change their mobile number or move house etc...
