A Very good Idea .....

Not sure if this has been suggested here ...

Subject: Fw: In case of emergency - "ICE"

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 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.

Subject: "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.

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!
