    Just got this in an email and thought it was a bloody good idea. God knows we are certainly at risk of injury every day.

    Cheers, Cris.

     

     

    Apparently  this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your Mobile phone. 



    ICE  - '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  mobile 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  spread this idea. 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.
