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 sto re 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
let your loved ones and friends know about this campaign. 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 !!!
