ICE contact that could save lives

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".
