Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an
accident when they come across your cell phone.


ICE - '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 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(mobile) 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, th ere were always mobile phones with patients, but they
didn't know which number to call. H e therefore thought that 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 you have stored as
'ICE.'
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 this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know
about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
