An interesting website

Shelli posted several weeks ago about a movement to have everyone add a cell phone entry for ICE (In Case of Emergency), and to then key in a number for that entry that would connect to a close friend or family member who should be notified on your behalf if you are sick or hurt. It seems emergency personnel often have no idea who to contact, especially if you are an unmarried adult living on your own.

I ran across a website today called the National Next-of-Kin Registry. It's free to sign up, and aims to be a resource for emergency personnel, as well. While I think it's a new idea and would probably take a long time to become all that they envision, I've signed up and it seems like something that could do a lot of long-term good. In our transient, mobile society, with people often living far from family, it probably can't hurt.
