ICE 

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 areAmbulance hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence the 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign. On the phone


All you need to do is store the number of the person who should be contacted during an emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency). 

 

For more than one contact simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. 


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 no-one  knew which number to call. He thought it would be a good idea to have 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.' 

 

A great idea that will make a difference!
