In Case of
Emergency
Trading Standards advise of a new initiative supported by Sussex
Ambulance Service. This involves
creating an entry in your mobile phone directory which contains
the name and contact number of anyone you wish to be contacted in case of
an emergency. This can obviously save valuable time in the event of
an emergency.
Many people don’t carry information that would help if they were
involved in an accident. Storing next-of-kin details in your mobile phone
can assist the emergency services if you’re unable to tell them who to
contact.
Simply use
your mobile’s phone book to store the name and number of someone who
should be contacted if you have an emergency – but add the letters ‘ICE’ in
front of their name.
ICE stands
for ‘In Case of Emergency’; it’s what the emergency services will look for
if you’re involved in an accident and have your mobile phone with you.
