ICE could be useful

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in
their memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these
numbers belong to our near and dear ones.

In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people
attending us get hold of our mobile phone, they won't know which number to
call to inform our family members. There are many numbers stored but which
is the one to contact in case of an emergency?

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the
name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.

The concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, and becomes an
important means of contacting the right person during emergency situations.

As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the
number of a the person/s who should be contacted during emergency as "ICE"
(meaning In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who observed that when they went to
the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but
they didn't know which number to call.

He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally
recognized name for this purpose.

Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service
launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff
would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing
the number stored as "ICE".

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will
know about this.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile
phones today! Please forward to your all nearest and dearest.
