For those who carry cell phones... and those who should..

Emergency Personnel look for ICE in your cell phones

A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency contact number in their
mobile phone's memory under the heading "ICE" (for "In Case of Emergency"),
has rapidly spread throughout the world as a particular consequence of last
week's terrorist attacks in London. Originally established as a nation-wide
campaign in the UK, ICE allows paramedics or police to be able to contact a
designated relative / next-of-kin in an emergency situation.

The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance Service paramedic Bob
Brotchie and was launched in May this year. Bob, 41, who has been a
paramedic for 13 years, said: "I was reflecting on some of the calls I've
attended at the roadside where I had to look through the mobile phone
contacts struggling for information on a shocked or injured person.

Almost everyone carries a mobile phone now, and with ICE we'd know immediately who
to contact and what number to ring. The person may even know of their
medical history."

By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will help the rescue services
quickly contact a friend or relative - which could be vital in a life or
death situation. It only takes a few seconds to do, and it could easily help
save your life.

Why not put ICE in your phone now?

Simply select a new contact in your phone book, enter the word 'ICE' and the
number of the person you wish to be contacted. For more than one
contact
name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do, and please pass this
on.......it may save a life.
