I’ve just read about this on the BBC web­site and I think it is an exce­llent idea and should be widely adop­ted. It is a sim­ple and effi­cient method of iden­tif­ying who to call in the case of an emer­gency.
 

BBC says:

A cam­paign encou­ra­ging peo­ple to store per­so­nal details on their mobile pho­nes to help iden­tify vic­tims of acci­dents and disas­ters has taken off since the bomb attacks in Lon­don.

Users are being urged to enter a num­ber in their phone’s memory under the hea­ding ICE — In Case of Emergency.

Para­me­dics or police would then be able to use it to con­tact a relative.

The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambu­lance Ser­vice para­me­dic Bob Brotchie and was launched in May.
