I
C E - "IN CASE OF
EMERGENCY"

Apparently
this is a standard procedure all paramedics
follow at the scene of an accident when they
come across your cell
phone.

ICE
- '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 (mobile) 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 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.
