+I.C.E (Immediate Contact Emergency) *Important*

[haGGard]

Read this in a different forum. Thought it may be VERY useful to ALL people. The following is copied and pasted.

PC dave Burlingham, a Police motorcycle rider trainer from North Yorkshire told them about the use of "ICE"

I C E (Immediate Contact Emergency)

He explained that when the emergency services are dealing with road traffic accidents, for example, if the casualty is unconcious they might consider using the casualty's own phone to contact the next of kin. Dave explained that the obvious difficulty associated with searching a mobile phone address book is not knowing exactly who to contact.

Apparently the ICE system was devised by Durham Constabulary and is currently working its way accross the contry.

Please adopt the ICE system...

By placing the person you would like contacting in an emergency on your mobile phone.

e.g.
ICE 1 (mum) 07786125872
ICE 2 (dad)
ICE 3 (wife)

etc etc

Its simple to do. It only takes 5 minutes and it could save lives.

I'd rather they loaded me into the ambulance instead of going through my pockets and fucking about with my phone.

Seems like quite a good idea but I carry ID with N.O.K Information on anyway.

[foxbat]

what if your phone is pin-locked? Make more sense perhaps just to put a label on the back.

I still dont understand how this will save lives. Surely the paramedics will be fixing me not my mum?

Get them to call Lawyers4U to meet you in A&E perhaps?

This "clever" idea surfaced just after the London bombings in one of those "send it to everyone you know" spams.

I can only guess that someone thought it would be a good idea to be able to assist in ID'ing the victims in future. Never mind that if you're in a bomb blast, the chances of your phone surviving if you don't are somewhere around zero.

For what it's worth, I have this on my phone, and they (paramedics) used it contact my Dad and he was at the hospital waiting for me. It was nice to have someone there when I finally came round. Didn't save my life, but at least it makes thier job that one bit easier. It's not like they don't have a difficult enough job.

Well I've put two into the phone, the home number and my dads mobile. I ride in North Yorkshire quite frequently and if this is the system they use, never know, might well help one day.

On the note of dog tags, my parents brought me some back from New York while they were over there last month. Dont wear them, but they're in the wallet anyway.

Fruit'n'nut, I agree with what you're saying, but if they've managed to get hold of someone, then it stops the whole problem in the first place.

On the other hand, if you do have an allergic reaction to a drug, then you're in the right place!

Fruit 'n Nut, it makes it easier. You will usally find that the driver will do the checking whilst the paramedic sees to you.

Like everyone said, it helps get vital info about medical history that may save them taking difficult decisions which could affect your life. Also allows loved ones to be informed, which will possibly leave them less concerned.

Phone locks only kick in if the phone is off. A keypad lock usually reveals how to deactivate itself. Contrary to popular belief, if no.s are stored on your sim card, they are pretty much indestructable. So in the event of you being a dead body in an explosion, that could well be one of the few things to go on.

It can only help having them there. How would it make things worse?

Sorted mine now, ICE 1 = 999. If I'm in an accident I'd rather like the ambulance service to be called first
