Put ICE in your cell phone. 

ICE, which stands for in case of emergency is a universal code indicating to  emergency personnel and first responders such as paramedics, firefighters and police officers, who to  contact in the event of life-threatening situation or emergency.

What Should You Do?   

To program ICE into your cell phone:

  • Access the address book feature of your cell phone.
  • Enter the name ICE.
  • Enter the phone number of your husband, wife, parent or whomever needs to know about you in case of an emergency.

Why is This Important?  Approximately 1,400 people treated by  paramedics annually are unable to communicate with rescuers due to illness or trauma. Emergency contact information is frequently vital to facilitate treatment during life-threatening situations.

Emergency personnel know to call ICE immediately.
