To its owner, the cell phone is an indispensable lifeline at times
of crisis, reuniting loved ones separated by unforeseen events at
the touch of a button. But for members of the emergency services
making life-and-death decisions, the cell poses a conundrum: Which
of the numbers stored in its electronic address book should they
call to reach a casualty's next of kin?
Now a simple initiative, conceived by a paramedic in Britain, has
gained momentum on both sides of the Atlantic to try to solve this
problem. Cell users are being urged to put the acronym ICE -- "in
case of emergency" -- before the names of the people they want to
designate as next of kin in their cell address book, creating
entries such as "ICE -- Dad" or "ICE -- Alison."
