This is probably worth doing.We all carry our mobile phones with names and 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 in our phone, but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence the "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) campaign was formed. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contacting someone 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 an 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 scene of an accident, 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 dialing the number you have stored as "ICE." For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. This is a great idea that will make a difference! Please consider storing an ICE
