THIS is such a really good suggestion that I wanted to share with
everyone. I have my family at the top of my phone list by spacing
before their names, but other people don't know that. Using this ICE
method would be a great universal idea. If you get this from more
than one person, just know that more than one person cares about you.
"In Case of Emergency" (ICE)
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. It really could save
your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
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, 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!
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
