The Federal Road Safety Commission
has just come out with the concept of
“ICE”..Please read carefully, it may
save your life or that of someone you
know" We all carry our mobile
phones with names numbers stored
in its memory. 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? Hence this
'ICE' (In Case of Emergency)
Campaign. The concept of 'ICE' is
catching on quickly. It is a method of
contact during emergency situations.
As mobile phones are carried by the
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 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 dialling the
number you have 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. PASS THIS AROUND
AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS
THIS CAN HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY"..
