The East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national ‘In case of Emergency (ICE)’ campaign with the support of Falklands war hero Simon Weston and in association with Vodafone’s annual life savers award.The idea is that you 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’.
In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are, or alternatively who you would want to be contacted, and be able to contact them.
It is so simple – everyone can do it. Please will you also forward this to everybody in your address book, it won’t take too many ‘forwards’ before everybody will know about this. It really could help.
