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 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.
