I was just kind of curious. One of my friends told me that her mom said we should put ICE next to any numbers in my phone that I would want someone to call if anything happened to me. ICE standing for In Case of Emergancy. Well my question is, do cops, firefighters, and paramedics know about that? Like will they actually look through your phone for the ICE numbers, or is that just something that her mom wanted us to do? Have any of you ever heard of doing that? Because I have ICE next to my parents, siblings, and a few of my closest friends. I also always have ID on me, not that that really matters.

But I was really just wondering, do other people do the "ICE" thing, or is it just a waste of time?

Thanks in advance.

That's a smart thing to do. I know a few people who do put ICE next to their parents and relatives. It's always good to have, just in case. It's also not a waste of time, after all its just typing 3 letters next to someone's name. What could it hurt? Hope this helps.

(Rating: 5) Yeah, I was just making sure other people have actually heard of it and that paramedics and others would know what it meant.
