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 to 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.

"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 forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" 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.

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile
phones today!

# Forward to your all nearest and dearest.
A great idea that will make a difference!
