IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE)

W e all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers
stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers
belong to our closest family or friends.

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 cell 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 dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."

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!

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.

ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
