Do you have "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) number stored in your mobile phone?

I'd like to share this very important message: comments are most welcome. Isn't it true that we all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in it's memory but yet nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones? Let us for a moment create a scenario wherein (God forbid), 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 inform our family members. Yes, there are hundreds of 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. The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accident, 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 recognize 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 number stored as "ICE". I hope this information is helpful to my fellow mylotters. A great idea that will make a difference. Have a nice and safe day!
