After the awful events of last Thursday, it seems a good idea that everyone
should know about
this:
East Anglian Ambulance Service have recently 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 " ICE " in your mobile phone
address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would
want contacted "In Case of Emergency". (For more than one contact name
ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc)
In an emergency situation, ambulance or hospital staff would then be
able to quickly find out who your next of kin is, and be able to
contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. So please do.
Your next of kin might know vital information that could help save your
life.
They would want to be with you if you should be ill, or injured.
At the very least, it could put their mind at rest.
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.
