ICE

Hi DEAR(S),

Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching up quickly. 
It is simple, yet 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 persons 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 numbers 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 Services personnel and
 hospital staff would then be able to quickly 
contact your next of kin, by simply dialing
the number
stored as "ICE".
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!
    So please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody     will know about
 this.
