Acadia National Park has 35,000 acres graced with natural scenic beauty. Within its boundaries you will find 120 miles of hiking trails and 27 miles of carriage trails. Acadia National Park is best known for its pine-covered forests and rugged coastline, not to mention Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the United States Eastern Seaboard.
But what if there is an emergency while I am "out and about". How do I get that medical, insurance and emergency information if all of a sudden I need it? There is a solution and it is worth looking into...it is called ICE (how appropriate for Maine in the winter)!
ICE First is a new software application for mobile phones that harnesses and capitalizes on mobile technology to allow users to easily store medical, insurance and emergency data about themselves and dependents on their mobile phones, and to display that information whenever they need it. ICE First has taken a simple idea - loading In Case of Emergency or "ICE" contact information on a mobile phone - and developed a robust version for today's technology rich mobile devices.
ICE First provides a central storage area for medical information and emergency contacts that the mobile phone user can have with them at all times. Through ICEfirst.com, a password protected Web site, users can easily update personal information on a full-sized keyboard vs. inputting the data on their mobile device. The application provides an over-the-air updating system that synchronizes the handset application with a Web database allowing subscribers to securely upload information from their computers to their mobile devices. By using ICE First, emergency contact, medical and insurance information, as well as a list of prescriptions, allergies and preferred care givers will be readily available at the touch of a button on most mobile phones.
You can find more information about ICE here on their website.
