I received this in an email and I thought it would be a good idea for all of us to know this.

A good idea for all  of us ....
 
 ICE!!!!!
 
 Apparently this is  a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident  when they come across your cell phone.
 
 ICE - '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(mobile) 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, th ere 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.' 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!
