Hi Everyone,
Smart phones provide many safety features, including a simple way for first responders to access your emergency contact and medical information. In your contacts, label the person you want contacted ICE, their name and relationship to you. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. Example: In my case, I have my husband’s mobile number listed as “ICE - Darrell husband”. You can add your personal medical information (allergies, medicine you are taking, your doctor’s contact information) under Notes in your ICE contact. It is recommended that you have list two ICE contacts.
ANYONE can use your phone, activate SIRI (press and hold the Home button on the iPhone) and say, "Call ICE” - even when your phone is locked!
Here is a good website that explains this.https://rnn10.wordpress.com/2010/06/21/how-to-set-up-an-ice-contact-on-your-iphone/
Please share this with friends, family and especially with students!

Hi Diane,
On the iPhone the new "health app" that comes with iOS 8 provide a place to enter all your medical info, allergies, docs, blood type, health conditions, emergency contacts and their relationship to you as well as a selfie. Then anyone can activate your phone and under emergency access this info.

Hi John & all,
The android counterpart is called ICE and can be placed as a widget on the lock screen, or inserts itself on the lock screen depending upon the operating system. If you try it out, keep us posted!
