ICE: In Case of Emergency

Did you know that emergency organizations, when they attend an incident, appreciate easily accessible information about who to contact, should the person be unable to communicate. The simple inclusion in YOUR mobile phone address book ofa contact shown as ICE (In Case of Emergency) giving the number of your nearest and dearest is their suggestion. Not got a mobile, or never switch it on? Then, you might want to think about an old fashioned written phone number in your bag, pocket, etc. It could save a lot of distress.

Message in a Bottle

And while we are on this sort of topic:

Do you live alone? Are you an organ donor? Do you take life-sustaining medication? Have you made a living will?

If the answer to any of these is YES, you should leave a 'Message in a Bottle' in your fridge. This scheme was devised and promoted by Lions Club International, and the 'bottles' (really small green and white plastic tubs) can be obtained from any public library. Inside the tub is a form on which to put your personal details, next of kin etc. On it you can list any medications you need, or whether you are an organ donor (and who to inform if you die), and any wishes you have about your care, in the event of a collapse.

There are also two green cross stickers in the tub. One you put on the inside of your front door, and the other on your fridge (or whichever cupboard you keep the bottle in).
