I.C.E. - '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 to us would
have our mobile phone but would not
know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but
which one is the contact person In Case of Emergency? Hence
the '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 (mobile) phones
are carried by a majority of the population, all you need to
do is store the number of a contact
person or persons who should be contacted during an
emergency under the name 'ICE'.
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 did not know which number
to call... He therefore thought 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 stored under ICE
For more than one contact 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 unable.
