In Case of Emergency

Hi All,
The London incident &; now the Mumbai floods have promoted concerns and I
share with you something useful somebody just sent. As long as everyone
knows what ICE stands for, it is not a bad idea. A useful thing to add
to your mobile address book!

It was thought up by an ambulance man/paramedic who found that when they
went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones but they
didn't know which numbers to call and he thought that it would be a good
idea if there was a nationally recognized name to file "next of kin"
under. Following the disaster in London . . . East Anglian Ambulance
Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign
with the support of Falkland 's war hero Simon Weston.

The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone
Address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would
want t o be contacted "In Case of Emergency".

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able
to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them.
It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.

Please copy this message and email it to everybody in your address book, 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 ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
