In Case of Emergency - 'ICE' Campaign

We all carry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in its memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or taken ill, the people attending to us would have our mobile phone, but out of all the numbers how would they know which one to call in case of an emergency? Hence the 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign, which is quickly catching on.

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 recognised name for this purpose.

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'. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialling the number you have stored as 'ICE'. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.   posted 27 Jun 2009
