Something that was forwarded to my email. I find this interesting and useful and good should we make use of this method. But how many would even wana be bothered with this method?? If you ask me, i'm very into it

Dear guys and gals,

We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves knows which of these numbers belong to our close and dear ones??

In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack, etc, and the people attending to us get hold of our mobile phone but don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are many numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of emergency??

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In Case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.

Recently, the concept of ICE is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.

As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency as ICE (meaning In Case of Emergency).

The idea thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call.

He therefore he thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

Following a disaster in London, the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national In Case of Emenrgency (ICE) campaign.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as ICE.

It really could save your life, or put your loved one's mind at rest.

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

A great idea that will make a difference
