Just heard this on the news:
One result of the London bombings is a program called "ICE" in your cellphone-- "in case of emergency" you program in the number of next of kin, spouse, whatever. Then if you aren't able to talk (God forbid) the police or emergency people can look on your cellphone for the "ICE" entry and notify your loved ones.
I suspect this will spread like wildfire! What a great idea.

Carolyne,
This is a good piece of advice for which I'd add, tell the person you are assigning the "ICE" to that you've done it so they will know who the emergency person is talking about.
Also give that person a list of your current (maintenance) prescriptions and what your allergies are and to what medicines you are allergic to. If I'm given Pennsylin or Eurethormicyn then I'm in big big trouble. Since they are your voice it would be good for them to know these things.
Just an idea.
