Joanne

Thank for passing this on.

Another idea for those with chonic illness is to put your medical

information on one of those little computer memory gadgets (can't

think of the name) and either wear it around your neck or put it on

your keychain.

Thanks for this Joanne. I had just heard about this on the radio the other day.

I was trying to figure out if I should put my husband's cell as he never answers

it or my fathers number. The suggestion of ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 is a very good

idea.

In Case of Emergency Notification

The London incident has promoted concerns and I share with you what one of my

European colleagues and or local paramedics recommended. As long as everyone

knows what ICE stands for, it is not a bad idea. A useful thing to add to your

mobile address book!

It was thought up by an ambulance man/paramedic who found that when they went

to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones but they didn't know

which numbers to call and he thought that it would be a good idea if there was a

nationally recognized name to file " next of kin " under.

Following the disaster in London . . East Anglican Ambulance Service have

launched a national " In case of Emergency (ICE) " campaign with the support of

Falklands war hero Simon Weston.

The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone Address

book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be

contacted " In Case of Emergency " .

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to

quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so

simple that everyone can do it. Please do.

Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, 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.

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

They are called either USB memory sticks or memory pens, depending on

the mfg.
