'ICE' (In Case of Emergency)
Most of us carry a mobile phone with names and numbers stored in its memory. 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.
The 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign aims to rectify this. The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. All you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted in the event of an emergency under the name 'ICE'.
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that, when attending the scene of an accident, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they did not know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there were a nationally recognised 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 dialling the number you have stored as 'ICE'.
