in case of emergency!

The ICE (In Case of Emergency) program has been around since 2005, but I just received an e-mail about this smart program.

It's all about having contact information in your cell phone so that in an emergency first responders can identify you and have quick and easy access to your friends and family.

Numbers are entered under
ICE, but with a 1, 2 and 3 in front of them to keep them at the top of your contact list.

Example:

1ICE Bob
2ICE Max
3ICE Mom

Wikipedia has a good explanation of the program and Snopes has more information.

So before you hit the road, get your
ICE in order!
