In case of emergency .ICE 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 near and dear ones?In case we are
involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending 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 an 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 person who should be contacted at during emergency as ICE'
(meaning In Case of Emergency).
The idea was 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 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 Emergency (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'.Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before every
body 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. 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 forward to your all nearest
and dearest.
Thanks!
