In Case of Emergency
Following the disaster in London . . .
East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston.
The idea is that you store the word " I C E " 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".
In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.
Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, 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 ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

1. What if the battery has gone dead on your phone?
2. What if you Simlock/PIN lock your phone..... if you are unconcious how do they get the PIN to input into the phone to get your ICE numbers??
Sorry,
Claire

Re: In Case of Emergency
It's a brilliant idea providing Claire's problems don't happen 
but just to be picky, it is not following thursday, it has been running for quite a while just not well publicised - don't know why.

That's a really good idea. I haven't heard of it before.

Re: In Case of Emergency
just got that email from my pal in Scotland. Just shows how these travel fast in this age of technology. I agree there are flaws, but anything that may help I guess.
