ICE Campaign - 'In Case ofE mergency'

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

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 dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE.'

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!

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.

ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

Its a really ******* good idea!

I agree, it is a good idea.

I thought it was going to be a way of collecting everyones mobile numbers for mass marketing but its just straight up a great idea if its spread in the right way.

If it were promoted at point of purchase it would have better chance of working. When you buy a phone or a service plan or a sim card the first question when you boot the phone should be Ice Ice Baby soundtrack with a dialogue box asking for the numbers

Me likey...

Not Applicable Here.

I see your 'cool' and raise you to a 'kewl'! 8)

hmm, I was thinking that you could store the phone numbers of the dates that did not work out as ICE, ICE2, etc., guess that I will have to revise my labeling system.

Great idea.

I love Geri's comment

"Not Applicable Here."

I have met so many Thai and Cambodian people who really could care less if they will die, are dying or might die.

I guess it gives them more time to live.

Although for Farangs (and Thais) that have not quit mastered this sense of the "devil may care attitude" I think the contact info thing is a great idea.
