The rescuers and ambulance drivers have noticed that most of the wounded in road accidents have a cell phone with them.

During the missions, however, you do not know who is to be contacted from these long contact lists.

Ambulance drivers have therefore suggested that everyone should enter the person to be contacted in an emergency under the same pseudo in their contact lists.

The internationally recognized pseudo is: ICE (= In Case of Emergency). Under this name you should enter the person who is to be called in an emergency by the police, fire brigade or first aid.

If several people need to be contacted, ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc. are used.

Easy, costs nothing, but can bring a lot.
