Cube mk2 and WIR

A friend of mine in the US sent me this, and I thought that people might want to consider the idea. Not nice to think about perhaps, but entirely practical...

 

"Following the London bombing, an English Ambulance Service has launched an international "In Case of Emergency ( ICE ) Campaign", as they have discovered that at almost every accident scene there is a working mobile/cell phone on the victim(s). The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile/cell phone address book, and enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency". For more than one contact name ICE 1, ICE 2, ICE 3 etc

 

In an emergency situation, ambulance, paramedics, police and/or 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 it now.

 

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."

 

Keep safe everyone.

I had this pointed out to me about a month ago and have put ICE numbers in all our phones. I think it's a terrific idea.

Yes, it's brilliant isnt it. I had an e-mail from a friend about a month ago and I heard a chap from the ambulance service talking about it on the radio about 2 or 3 weeks ago. He says its so useful for any of the emergency services so they know who to call when the person is either injurred / in shock and they need to get medical information etc. Hopefully this information will spread by e-mail and egg-mail

Yes - we've done it already as well. Brilliant idea.
