I got one too Ozzie. I think it's a great idea. I have info like that written down, but it would take them twenty minutes to find it in my messy wallet.

Anyway, my email also had this.

Several suggestions:

* Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving has agreed to be your ICE partner

* Make sure your ICE partner has a list of people they should contact on your behalf - including your place of work

* Make sure your ICE person's number is one that's easy to contact, for example a home number could be useless in an emergency if the person works full time

* Make sure your ICE partner knows about any medical conditions that could affect your emergency treatment - for example allergies or current medication
VERY IMPORTANT, I think. (I have a "Medic Alert" on my key chain due to my blood issues and the chemo meds)

* Make sure if you are under 18, your ICE partner is a parent or guardian authorised to make decision on your behalf - for example if you need a life or death operation

Should your preferred contact be deaf, then type ICETEXT then the name of your contact before saving the number
