2. 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 person’s 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.

4. 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.
