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.
God forbid, 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 whom
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 contacted 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 globally 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.
