This is a great idea! It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
*ICE CAMPAIGN* In Case of Emergency:
We all carry our mobile phones with the names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to out closet family or friends.
If we were to be involved in a accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, we have bunches of numbers stored but which is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. 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 a emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and the 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 ICE2, ICE3 etc.
