Adding an In Case of Emergency, or ICE, contact to your cell phone can help emergency personnel contact your friends or loved ones if you are badly injured in an accident and canāt speak for yourself. Reporter Edica Gonzalez explains this simple idea…
Your emergency contact person should be someone who knows your medical history and how to contact your family, such as a spouse, significant other, parent, or good friend. Then, on your cell phone, create a new contact named I-C-E with the personās name and phone number, address, and their relationship to you under notes. Itās a good idea to have at least two ICE contacts, labeled 1 and 2. If you have a password protected phone, there are ICE apps that you can add to your locked screen page that donāt require a password for emergency personnel to access. Search for āICEā or āICE lock screenā in your app store to find one that works on your phone. Itās also a good idea to keep an ICE card in your wallet in case your phone is lost or broken. Reporting for Z107.7, this is Edica Gonzalez.
