An email meme circulating, which I've now received two copies of, and seems to be not too daft an idea.

Basically it's a pointer to this suggestion: put your emergency contact details in your mobile under 'ICE' for In Case of Emergency.

I've done it on two of my three PDAs so far, may or may not do the other (less-used) one, and need to have a quiet five minutes struggling with the phone.

I heard that on the radio yesterday. A good plan, and something I will do when I get 5 minutes. The guy they were talking to said that it is something the group he was representing have been trying to get people to do since last April, but have not had a good uptake on until after the bombings.

Doesn't look a substitute for a name-and-address in your wallet, a medic-alert bracelet, or any of the other established methods, but the guy who thought it up seems to have been thinking of less urgent situations. Somebody shaken up by the bomb, and needing to be taken home, rather than somebody injured.

Maybe think of it as a triage tool.

Point taken (whoever you are :)) but...

I don't have an emergency contact name and address in my wallet, and I suspect I'm not alone in that. And in fact on days I go in without a jacket, wallet's in the rucksack and mobile in the pocket.

I received an email forwarded from one of my bosses suggesting this. Seemed sensible. Done.
