ICE CAMPAIGN again

 I have posted it earlier but am doing it again hoping more people will notice it as it is very important.

We 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.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!

Very nice and cool idea every one should pass this to all friends. I just store the ICE numbers in my mobile.
