ICE CAMPAIGN

By sintri03

W e all carry our mobile
phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than
ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or
friends.

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 cell 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 universally 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."

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great
idea that will make a difference! Let's
spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

Well usually people have numbers as dad or mom incase of emergency.

 

It's always the small things that make big differences.
