ICE = On Case of Emergency
as usual, from dai gor again… very usefull info.. so take your hand phone and start to do it, my friends…
This is useful info! Pls pass on.
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 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.
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! Please forward
to your all nearest and dearest.
