From the link: In case of emergency (ICE) is a program that enables first responders, such as paramedics, firefighters, and police officers, to identify victims and contact their next of kin to obtain important medical information. The program was conceived in the mid-2000s and promoted by British paramedic Bob Brotchie in May 2005. It encourages people to enter emergency contacts in their cell phone address book under the name "ICE". Alternately, a person can list multiple emergency contacts as "ICE1", "ICE2", etc. The popularity of the program has spread across Europe and Australia, and has started to grow into North America.

A friend of mine recent;y told me her family is in law enforcement and they always check cell phones for ICE numbers.

Do you have an ICE number on your phone?

The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject a blessing. Something is terribly wrong with this picture. - Doug Phillips, Vision Forum Ministries

When I got my new phone last summer, it had the ICE feature on it. I think it's a great idea.
