Several years ago I heard a news story about adding an ICE listing to
the contact list in my cell phone. This
simple addition can designate a contact to be called- in case of
emergency, that is, in the event I am unable to communicate to first
responders. Thanks to Bob Brotchie, a
British paramedic, this opportunity to locate a family member or friend for an unresponsive
individual is made easier because first responders are supposed to look for the
ICE contact. That is, if your phone does
not have a passcode!!
I did not have a passcode for my old phone. Since I now have grandkids who love playing
with phones, I have installed a passcode.
However, I am recommending the use of ICE listings for those who do not
have a passcode for their cell phone.
Just another way to be a responsible adult.
You can read about ICE in Wikipedia….en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_case_of_emergency.
Have you ever needed the ICE contact? Share your experience below.
