Survival 3: Do You Have ICE On Your Phone?
Make sure everyone has an ICE (in
case of emergency) phone number on their cell phone.
Android users running 7.0 or higher
can program emergency information and contact details through the emergency
call screen when the device is locked.
On the iPhone go to your Health
App, which looks like this:
Launch the Health app on your
iPhone.Tap the Medical ID tab.Tap Edit in the upper right
corner.Tap Edit Medical ID.Under Emergency Contacts tap
Add emergency contact.Select a contact from your
list.Select a Relationship.
You can add as much information as
you like on this app in the appropriate places. Think about it. If you were
found unconscious and your phone is locked, could anyone contact someone who
would need to know? Would medical personnel know your blood type and allergies?
To access it, when the passcode screen comes up, you will see emergency in the bottom left of that screen. Tap that and you will get a phone dial screen; on the bottom left it will say, in red, Medical ID. Tap that and you will get all the pertinent information.
