ICE campaign - " 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 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 " .

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 .

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

Be sure it's in your kid's cell phones also.....

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 !

When I entered the info under contacts I made it emergency in case of

so that someone looking at the contact list would see this as my

emergency contact list. I also included the phone numbers of my kids

at work and home under the various sections of the contact

information.
