In Case of Emergency, dial "ICE"

Last saturday, I finally did it!

I finally store my "ICE" in my mobile phone..

What's ICE?

ICE is the acronym for – In Case of Emergency –
The idea is to store the word "ICE" in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".




The campaign was launched in Apr 2005 by Bob and Falklands war hero Simon Weston in association with Vodafone’s annual Life Savers Awards.
The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would like telephoned following a serious accident. As a result, paramedic/police struggled to get contact details from shocked or injured patients.

With the ICE, ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them in an emergency situation.
However, think carefully about who will be your ICE partner as the person has to give consent for emergency medical treatment.

It's as simple as that!

So, take out your mobile phone now and add your ICE
I know i did mine already!
