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?

In case we are involved in an accident 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 many 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.

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,wjust 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".

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!
