ICE, ICE, Baby

Useful tip from the internet:-

Our mobile phones normally have over a hundred names/numbers stored in its memory yet nobody else knows which of these numbers belong to our dearest?

In case of an accident or a heart attack, whoever is helping us, gets hold of our mobile phone but do not know which number to call to inform the right family member. Yes, there are usually a hundred numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency?

For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In Case of Emergency) in our mobile phones.

Recently, the concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.

As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during an emergency as “ICE" (meaning In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic, who often faces this problem of who to contact. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there were a nationally recognized name for this purpose.

Following a disaster in London, the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national "In Case of Emergency (ICE)" campaign.

In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialling the number stored as "ICE".

It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

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!

Another useful tip: Make use of your car alarm system.

Start keeping your car keys next to where you sleep.

If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a noise outside your house, just press the alarm button on the remote controller of your car.

If your car alarm is activated when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the would-be burglar or rapist won't stick around.

Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just remember to press the alarm button again to turn it off.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car at night or when you are alone.

This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or prevent someone from sex abuse.

So remember to put your car keys & remote controller on the bedside table from now on!
