email forward: ICE
The London incident has promoted concerns and I share with you what one ofmy European colleagues just sent. As long as everyone knows what ICE standsfor, it is not a bad idea. A useful thing to add to your mobile addressbook!It was thought up by an ambulance man/paramedic who found that when theywent to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones but theydidn't know which numbers to call and he thought that it would be a goodidea if there was a nationally recognized name to file "next of kin" under.Following the disaster in London . . .East Anglian Ambulance Service havelaunched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign with the supportof Falklands war hero Simon Weston.The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone Addressbook, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to becontacted "In Case of Emergency".In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able toquickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It'sso simple that everyone can do it. Please do.Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, it won'ttake too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It reallycould save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
