ICE
I saw this on livejournal_uk and I think it's a really good idea so I'm posting it here, especially after yesterday's events. I think this is something you all should do *poke poke*
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.
The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would like telephoned following a serious accident. For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc
