N.B. I received this one on my email... share lng nko... thnks
"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 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 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. Be sure it's in your kid's
cell phones also.....
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!"
