ICE Campaign - "In Case o f Emergency" We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which o f these numbers belong to our closest f amily or f riends. I f 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 o f numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case o f an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case o f Emergency) Campaign The concept o f "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method o f contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority o f the population, all you need to do is store the number o f a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case O f Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who f ound that when he went to the scenes o f accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He there f ore thought that it would be a good idea i f there was a nationally recognized name f or this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Sta f f 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 di f f erence! Let's spr ead the concept o f ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today! Please f orward this. It won't take too many " f orwards" be f ore everybody will know about this . It really could save your li f e, or put a loved one's mind at rest . ICE will speak f or you when you are not able to.
