ICE - In Case of Emergency
>
>A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency contact number in
>their mobile phone's memory under the heading ICE (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
>your person to contact in case of emergency, enter them under the word
>"ICE" and the telephone number of the person you wish to be contacted.
