This information was shared by a colleague please pass it round.
The Federal Road Safety Commission
has just come out with the concept
of "ICE"..Please read carefully, it
may save your life or that of
someone you know
"We all carry our mobile phones
with names & numbers stored in
its memory. 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
mobile 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 dialling the number you
have stored as 'ICE'.
Please share
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. PASS THIS
AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY"..From the Federal Road
Safety Commission.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.
