L.E.O. advice:


Tape a business card or " ICE " number on the back of your drivers license and HH6's drivers license.

When aid crews and medics are working on ya, that's the first thing we go for when we arrive at a crash scene. Cell phones very easily become lost or broken in bad crashes.

**Bumping**

Thank you the suggestions here are all great ideas.

I felt this is a great thread and wanted to bump it, we had a recent experience in my family that this if it had been in place could have helped save precious time.

That is good advice, Ranger, and probably would have benefited me more in my situation.

I had/have all the ICE information, and alternate contacts, etc. in my phone (and the husband's thanks to this thread, :wink: ), which ended up stuck somewhere in my dash when I had the wreck. The wrecker guys ended up finding it when they towed the truck away. So, good thing I was conscious and able to verbalize or my family wouldn't have been contacted nearly as quickly.

Don't know how I missed it, but it's there now! :wink:

I've noticed that some of the newer phones come programmed with an ICE section. Mine will store 3 ICE contacts and it lists the section first in the contact list.

I totally forgot about mine... until I had to use it this week.
I just saw something cool in my head...
