An Overview of ICE
What is ICE?

• ICE stands for In Case of Emergency.
• The idea of ICE gained widespread recognition
  the same time as the 2005 London terrorist
  bombings. ICE is meant to simplify rapid access
  to an ill or injured persons emergency contacts
  and critical medical information.
• ICE contact information is easily stored in a
  cell phone, PDA, or similar electronic devices.
  ICE Contact, Medical or Health Proxy Cards are
  also available to be kept in a wallet, purse or
  secured on work or recreational helmets and
  equipment.
• By providing ICE contact information, public
  safety and medical providers will have access to
  critical patient information such as allergies
  and medications and can help obtain faster
  consent for certain emergency medical procedures.

ICE Around the World

• Many companies, organizations, and public service
  groups across the world have adopted the use of
  this life safety emergency program.

• Internationally, the United Nations in 2008
  promulgated an international non-language based
  standard for ICE referred to as E.123

ICE4SAFETY Suggests

• Using E.123 methodology, you can list your
  contact folder as 01Emergency, 02Emergency,
  03Health Care Proxy, 04Employer, 05Doctor
• This practice is easily adapted to the language
  of the country you reside, travel or are using a
  particular electronic device. 

• Confusing names on folder labels may not be
  recognized as emergency contacts and ignored
  names inside folders are ok. 
• Keep it Simple!

• Alphabetical Ranking such as AA, AB, and AC to
  give priority to important emergency contacts can
  be used in lieu of number ranking.
