Anyone in your family own a Cell Phone?  I know.  You must think I am crazy, especially today.  At any rate, if they are like most Americans and keep it with them at all times, than this article is specially written for you.

"ICE", the brainchild of a British paramedic, who came up with the idea last Spring, but it didn't taken take hold until the bombings in London, England, July 7th.  Now, apparently several Police Departments all over the United States are very interested in his idea.

Here's basically how it works.  In case of an emergency, or fatality, the police or emergency technician can look at the individuals cell phone and search its directory for the acronym "ICE" to locate guardians or the next of kin.  The owner needs to program their Cell Phone with the letters I-C-E, followed by the name of the person to contact.  This person should be the one that is a legal guardian or main contact person with medical history of the victim.

The process is simple and according to Greg Lord, of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, who's quoted as saying, in an article of September 2005's issue of AARP Bulletin, "There's really no downside for the public.  Using this may come in handy."

According to information found on the Web site, ICE™ - In Case of Emergency.  A World wide medical notification service.
