I.C.E. Program
(In Case of Emergency)
 If
you should ever become incapacitated in case of an emergency,
Northville Township emergency workers need a quick way to find out who
they should contact. Paramedics, police and firefighters often waste
valuable time trying to figure out which name in a cell phone to call
when disaster strikes. They need to talk immediately to a family
member or close friend so you can get the medical attention you need
as soon as possible. I.C.E. program is a free and easy way to help
emergency workers help you.
All you have to do is put the name of your emergency contact in
your cell phone phonebook with the word "ICE" in front of it. "ICE"
stands for "In Case of Emergency." For example, if your emergency
contact is Sheila, you should put "ICE -- Sheila" in your phone book.
That way, emergency workers treating you can quickly contact Sheila to
get the information about you that they need. You can also have more
than one emergency contact -- you just list them as ICE1, ICE2, and so
on. Take a look at the picture on the left to see an example of a cell
phone with ICE contact information.
Northville Township has notified all of our emergency workers to look
for ICE numbers if they ever come across an unconscious person in an
accident. Now that police officers, firefighters and paramedics are on
the lookout for ICE numbers, putting your emergency contact in your
phone could help save your life one day in case of emergency. By
working together, we can make Northville Township a safer place for
everybody. Please take a moment to put your emergency contact
information in your cell phone today.
