In Case of Emergency: Put Your Cell Phone on "ICE"

This was a tip that I saw on a local news broadcast. If you were in an accident of some kind and were unable to speak for yourself, who would you want to have notified? This news story offered that your cell phone could be a tool that emergency responders might use to reach the one person who needs to know most if you are incapacitated. By having an entry labeled "ICE" ("In Case of Emergency"), you are able to designate who you want to have notified first in case of emergency. This is an especially good idea if you have teenagers out there, driving around on their own. Of course, it's not a surefire thing: if you have your phone password protected, it might take emergency assistance personnel/healthcare providers awhile to figure out how to get into your phone, and phones are sometimes thrown clear of an accident scene. So it's a good idea to have other emergency information on you in other forms. But if you have a simple, ancient, no frills phone like this old lady has, and if you keep that phone in a purse, etc., it is another tool that offers some measure of help!
