Help the emergency services

by storing the number of a emergency contact person(s) under the name ‘ICE’ ( In Case Of Emergency).

Many anglers carry mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but who should be called  if they were to be involved in an accident or be taken ill.?

Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency.

Hence the ‘ICE’ (In Case of Emergency) Campaign, an idea thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but he didn’t know which number to call.

He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognised name for this purpose so that in an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialling the number you have stored as ‘ICE’.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN EMERGENCY
