In Case of Emergency (ICE)

Add an In Case of Emergency (ICE) contact to your cell phone this month. This enables fi rst responders, such as paramedics, firefighters and police officers to identify victims and get in touch with your emergency contact(s) to obtain important medical information.
Step 1: Enter a new contact, titled “ICE,” on your cell phone or other portable communication device.
Step 2: Enter the phone number of the individual you would like called if you are injured.
Step 3: Place an ICE sticker on your phone to let first responders know you have programmed an emergency contact.
Store a hand-crank or battery-operated cell phone charger in your emergency kits. Individuals without cell phones should carry an identification card with emergency contacts and any pertinent medical information in their wallet or purse.
