Message from NSW Ambulance Service:

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its
memory  but nobody, other than 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 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, 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 dialling the number you have stored as "ICE".

Please forward this.

It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about
this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
