Very Important to Note:
Isn't it true that we all carry our mobile
phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its
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 call to inform our
family members.
Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored
but which one is the contact person in case of an
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.

Subject: " ICE " Campaign Recently, the
concept of " ICE " is catching up quickly. It is simple, 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 person 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
number 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 Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able
to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored
as "ICE".
Please repost this. It won't take too many "reposts" before every body 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!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing
an ICE number in our mobile phones today!
