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.
e.g. Name ICE S Rajasekar
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. 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! e.g. Name ICE S Rajasekar
Remember:-
ICE will speak for you when you are not able
