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 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 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'.
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 AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY"
