Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do.
Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your cell phone NOW!

I did it. My mom's home is the home one, my mom's cell is mobile1, and my dad's cell is mobile2.

Wow, that's a great idea. I just did it. Have 4 contacts because I'm paranoid like that. I'll have my family do it as well.
Thank you for making us aware of this, Desi!

I'm gonna have Jason do it on his. And since I don't have a cell phone, I'll prolly just write it down on a piece of paper and put it in my purse with my license

That's a good idea. I should do that for my wallet too, just in case I forget my cell.

I havent put an ICE cause the only numbers I have in my fone are my fiances home number, his mobile number and my home number, so if something ever happens to me, the paramedics can always just try all 3!
