ICE - In Case of Emergency

Here is an idea who's time has come, this is something to think about for our families.

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in the memory. But nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. The same is true of our PDA devices, day timers, even address books.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending on 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. Since 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 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 dialling the number you have stored as "ICE."

For more than one contact name, simply enter ICE 1, ICE 2 and ICE 3 etc.

A great idea that can make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today! And spread the word.
