ICE -- Are you Cold or Prepared?

ICE. When you see that term - what do you think? In winter you are subject to think of conditions related to cold winter weather. That is fair, but ICE can also mean -- In Case of Emergency (I.C.E).

I.C.E. is an important designation for friends, family, and loved-ones who are your primary contact during an emergency. If you are in an emergency and cannot speak or act for yourself, having an I.C.E. designation will help emergency responders and/or good samaritans know who to contact.

The ICE designation is especially easy to do on cell phones. You should simply add "ICE" to the end of the contact name. So instead of "Mom", simply write "Mom - ICE".

Even though ICE may be cold, it's a great way to stay prepared year round.
