[PBARC] In Case of Emergency

[E Glenn Wolf Jr]

*ICE campaign** - "In Case of Emergency"*

*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. *

*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 **!** *
