Make an I.C.E. Card


In case of emergency (I.C.E.) cards make it possible for loved ones to be told of an emergency and for emergency and medical care personnels to get vital health information. It gives first responders key information on critical health issues; such as medication use, allergies or pre-existing conditions. It is easily identifiable unlike carrying your details in a mobile phone, which may be locked or difficult to operate.

Information saves time, information saves lives. If you are taken ill or injured, carrying your I.C.E. Card could make all the difference.
