My Note: I did this the minute I saw the sign in my doctor's office. I think it's a great idea and the word should be spread.

It could save your life and notify loved ones
“ICE” Your Cell Phone

If you can’t tell paramedics who you are, your cell
phone can help emergency responders and healthcare
workers to identify you and notify your loved ones.
Just program your cell phone’s telephone book with
the codeword “ICE” (In Case of Emergency):

In Case of Emergency
1. Open your cell phone telephone book to create a
new entry. Instead of entering the name of a
person, enter the word “ICE”.

2. Enter the phone number of the person you would
want contacted in an emergency. To list multiple
contacts, name the entries ICE1, ICE2, and so on.

Emergency workers look for the codeword ICE when
they turn to your phone. Help them save your life.

Program your phone today.
