ICE

Recently, the concept of “ICE” is catching up quickly. 

It is simple, yet 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 persons 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 numbers 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 Services 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!

    So please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody     will know about

 this.
