[LU] FW: non LU : Mobile phone ICE idea

[Nick Allen]

As a non-mobile phone carrying pariah in today's bleepbleep world,
should I carry a small piece of paper about my person, with all relevant
contact details?

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 dialling the number
you 
have stored as "ICE."

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!
