Dear Friends,
It is an idea which is worth sharing and which can make a difference in
case of emergency.
A recent article from the Toronto Star, "the ICE idea", is catching on
and it is a very simple, yet important method of contact for you or a
loved one " In Case of an Emergency". As cell phones are carried by the
majority of the population, all you need to do is program the number of a contact
person or persons and store the name as "ICE".
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 to file "next of
kin" under. Following a disaster in London, The East Anglican Ambulance Service
has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign. The idea is
that you store the word "ICE" in your mobile phone address book, and with
it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of
Emergency ". 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 programmed under "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, ICE3 etc.
A great idea that will make a difference!
