The Federal Road Safety
Commission has just come out with the concept of “ICE".. Please read carefully,
it may save your life or that of someone you know" We all carry our mobile
phones with names & numbers stored in its memory. If we were to be involved
in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending to 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 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 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. 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'. 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.
For more than one contact name
simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. PASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE AND THIS CAN HELP IN AN EMERGENCY".
