Practical Inexpensive Uses for ICE - The List Grows


ICE4SAFETY Tools have many applications that lend themselves to providing increased levels of safety and preparedness. We occasionally get calls asking how to better use ICE. Here you go...
This homeowner has had some medical issues in the past and a few ambulance rides too so they decided to alert the paramedics just in case it happens again. To enhance the likelihood of ICE being recognized - another sticker (2"x 2" you would get with your free ICE Kit) was affixed to the main entrance - just in case (back up) it is obstructed at the mailbox during inclement weather. Make this a part of your overall effort to use ICE.
Once inside, First Responders would see the ICE Cards and Medical Info Forms in the patient wallet or purse or stuck the refrigerator with the supplied card holder and programmed information on their cell phone or their Smartphone - using smart-ICETM
Building in redundancy to your safety preparedness effort will increase the likelihood of success over any of these one shot wonder gimmicks we see flooding the market. We get a lot of people copying our ideas from here......
If your ambulance, police or fire department is running an ICE Program for the community be sure to get these ICE Stickers (2x2") to alert EMS as well.......they have plenty of other emergency uses .....and the name of any sponsor or their website address can be placed on one line at the bottom without detracting from the visual alert effect it was designed for.
One sponsor indicates his business gets plenty of hits for business as a result of sponsoring ICE in community giveaway programs. ICE just keeps getting better and better......
So, lets recap:
You can use ICE at home, on the job, in your motor vehicle, boat, ATV, snowmobile, recreation vehicle, bicycle, wallet, phone, smartphone, I-Pod, mailbox, emergency toolkit/supplies, ambulances, fire equipment/rescue trucks, USB Drives, mobile device, motorcycle, KeySure Devices, Downhill Ski's, Snowboards and on public safety posters to name just a few.....

Florida DMV - Complements ICE Preparedness




Florida is ahead of many states in Emergency Preparedness for good reason - they cope with repeated emergencies on a yearly basis. You will find local government websites dedicating considerable space to getting citizens prepared for - in their case - the inevitable storm.....


Florida DMV has a program that allows Florida Drivers License Holders to access their license database online to add/update emergency contact information. In an emergency, police access the DMV Database and retrieve contact info you provided in advance and attempt notifications.


When it comes to being prepared, redundancy is an important word. Would you rely on this totally - no way....there are limitations to everything....but this is an excellent way to take advantage of systems installed and maintained with your tax dollars that can actually work for you.

MySpace and ICE4SAFETY

Some of the Myspace EMS/FIRE/POLICE folks will be visiting the blog and website and lending some critical analysis on what works and what doesn't. We might even get a few to spend a few moments away from their often colorful and insightful Myspace pages to share some of their considerable experience and knowledge in a forum that can reach out to the "average Joe".

It would be a nice addition to the effort......and a welcome one.

Anyways more functionality on board the website today... including language translation...
