Hi All, i just want to share it with you
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple,
yet an important method of contact during emergency situations.
As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you
need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons 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 numbers 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 Services 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
everybody 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
