ICE (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.'
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 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 .
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
