ICE in your CELL PHONE
Reminder to store "ICE" in your cell phone
 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 Anglian 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".
You can store multiple contacts like ICE_MyDad, ICE_MyHome, ICE_MyUncle
ICE can also help you in emergency situation by storing contacts like ICE_Hospital, ICE_Fire, ICE_Police
A great idea that could make a difference
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.
