Very Important to Note

>>Isn't it true that we all carry our mobile phones with

>>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 (God forbid)

>>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.

"ICE" Campaign
>>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!
