dialMost of us carry a mobile phone with names and numbers stored in its memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call.

The following advice was provided by the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service. The "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign aims to rectify this. The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations.

All you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" (In Case of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but they 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.

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, ICE3.
