IN CASE OF EMERGENCY - ICE<br />
<br />
Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. It is simple, yet an important method of contact during emergency situations.<br />
<br />
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 during emergency as "ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was an internationally 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.<br />
<br />
In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing<br />
the number stored as "ICE".<br />
<br />
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this.<br />
<br />
It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.<br />
<br />
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!</font>
