ICE Campaign = "In Case of Emergency" please call?..you know does anyone else?
We all carry our mobile/cell phones with names and 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?
"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 an emergency contact person or persons who you want to be contacted during an 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 word now and start using the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
It won't take many "forwards" or "IMS" or "Time" to let everybody you know about this.
It really could save your life,or that of a loved one..what if that contact is you? Put a loved one's mind at rest.
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to
