In Case Of Emergency Numbers.

[Rallydat]

Just got this message from Jeff Hawkins from KSCC. Best idea I've have heard in a long time. Pass it on.

Message from NSW Ambulance Service

Most of us carry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in its
memory but 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 recognised 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". For more
than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

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.
