ICE Campaign – “In Case of Emergency”

November 28th, 2007

I liked the idea pretty much, so I’m forwarding this wonderful message to all my readers.

ICE Campaign – “In Case of Emergency”

We 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 t hought 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 let this concept spread and start by your mobile today ;)
