I know this is not a topic for this group, but I thought it was
important enough to pass on.  It recently came in handy for my brother
when he was in a car accident.  It only takes a minute and it may save
your life.

ICE - In Case of Emergency 

A campaign encouraging people to enter an emergency
contact number in their mobile phone's memory under
the heading ICE (In Case of Emergency), has rapidly
spread throughout the world as a particular
consequence of last week's terrorist attacks in
London. 

Originally established as a nation-wide campaign in
the UK, ICE allows paramedics or police to be able to
contact a designated relative /next-of-kin in an
emergency situation.The idea is the brainchild of East
Anglian Ambulance Service paramedic Bob Brotchie and
was launched in May this year. Bob, 41, who has been a
paramedic for 13 years, said: "I was reflecting on
some of the calls I've attended at the roadside where
I had to look through the mobile phone contacts
struggling for information on a shocked or injured
person. Almost everyone carries a mobile phone now,
and with ICE we'd know immediately who to contact and
what number to ring. The person may even know of their
medical history."

By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will help the
rescue services quickly contact a friend or relative -
which could be vital in a life or death situation. It
only takes a few seconds to do, and it could easily
help save your life. Why not put ICE in your phone
now?  Simply select a new contact in your phone book,
enter the word 'ICE' and the number of the person you
wish to be contacted. For more than one Next of Kin
ICE1, ICE2, ICE3.

If you think this is a good idea please pass it on to
everyone in your address book get your family and
friends involved. It is Easy, Free, and could save
your life, or at least let you family know whats going
on.
