ICE Campaign - 'In Case of Emergency'

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory

but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to

our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people

attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call.

Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact

person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency)

Campaign.

The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact

during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of

the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person

or persons who should be con tacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' (

In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he 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.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff

would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the

number you have stored as 'ICE.'

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 this.

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

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

ICE will speak for you when you are not able to
