    Default Ice

    Don't know if this was ever a thread but I thought it was a good idea .Found it while paying my bill today .



    Dear Customer:

    Emergency personnel are resourceful when it comes to saving lives. Did you know that paramedics often turn to a victim’s cell phone for clues to a person’s identity? When every second counts, you can make their job easier with one simple word-ICE.


    ICE is an acronym for In Case of Emergency. Label an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone ICE. Include the name and phone number of the person that emergency services should call on your behalf. The few minutes it takes to add ICE to your cell phone could save your life.


    Many paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your cell phone TODAY!


    Life is better when you’re prepared. That’s Allstate’s stand.

    Yup!!!

    Also working at the hospital. It floored me how many people did not know the true meaning of a STAT request. So they drag their feet so to speak. When you hear a STAT called it's friggin serious in a hospital setting.. I had to call the E-Team many tmes with a STAT.....'Sooner Than Already There'!!!!

    That allstate guy....poo poo! They dropped me years ago..lol.

    "Sooner Than Already There"? That's awesome! It's actually an abbreviation of the Latin word "statim," meaning "immediately." But I like your acronym much better!

    Thanks for the ICE tip!

    oh that's interesting...

    A couple of months back, my son's preschool sent him home with these stickers and a pamphlet that said WHALE on them. I read the pamphlet and the word WHALE is for:
    WE HAVE A LITTLE EMERGENCY. You put the child's name and contact info for some one else in your family, or a close friend, that wouldn't normally be riding with you, then you put the info onto the back of the car seat, and put a WHALE sticker on your car window, so they know to check the car seat for contact info and the child's name. My son ended up coloring all over the stickers and what not before I got to them, but its a really good idea, along with ICE

    Wow.. I didn't know about WHALE. Thanks for that info, Lyzz!

    I'd heard about ICE a few months back on another message board, and have had it programmed into my cell ever since. It's a great idea.

    I like all these "code" words!

    I think it's great we have the 'Code ADam" when you are shopping and a child is lost. Doors go in lockdown!

    What gets me about this (also) very serious word/s is that many people don't know it. WE had that class at the hopital...but it more steered towards "code pink" for a hospital. The people in that class asking about that "Code Adam" Or "Adam Alert" floored me!!!!!

    Heres to hopes a crazy fuck who tries to kidnap a child from say walmart would not know the code either.

    They are all good to learn...working in the industry that follows these codes or not!!

    ICE was established as a a national initiative after the July 7th bombings here, because there were problems identifying people and others were worried sick where their loved ones were.

    Everyone should definitely have this on their mobile phone.
