Hey All,
I thought I would pass on some information I learned last Saturday while getting recertified for my CPR/First-Aid/AED.
Those of you that have cell phones, (everyone right?), need to add a new name to your cell phone directories. Add an emergency contact under the name ICE.
ICE stands for "In Case of Emergency".
Paramedics are now scrolling through cell phone directories of victims to contact family members and love ones. ICE is the first name paramedics look for and there's currently a campaign underway to make everyone aware of this important information.
You can even customize the acronym such as "ICE-DAD", or "ICE-WIFE", etc. My wife, daughter and I have all added this to our directories.
Let everyone know, it could just save your life.
S.M.
