A national " In case of Emergency (ICE) " campaign.

 

 

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.

 

The concept of " ICE " is catching up quickly. It is simply, an important method

of contact

during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by majority of the

population, all is

needed is to 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

& #1603; & #1610; & #1601; & #1603; & #1587; & #1605; & #1575; & #1574; & #1610;

stored as " ICE " .

 

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.
