The concept of 'ICE'
Dear All,
In case we are involved in an accident.
We all carry our mobile phones with hundreds of names, numbers stored in its memory but yet nobody, other than
ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?
In case we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending us get hold of our mobile
phone but don't know which number to call to inform our family members.
Yes, there are many 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 up quickly.
It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations.
As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, just store the number of a contact person or person who
should be contacted at during emergency as ICE (meaning In Case of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they 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 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 dialing the number stored as 'ICE.
Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before every body will know about this.
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!
Please forward to your all nearest and dearest. Thanks!
ICE概念
假如我們發生了意外或危急事情。
我們的手機裡儲存著數百通的名字和電話號碼 , 但除了我們自己本身外 ,沒有任何一個人知道這些號碼中的哪一個號碼是屬於我們
的至親好友。
假如我們身陷在意外中或心臟病發時 ,而照料我們的人員要用我們的手機通知我們的家人時 ,卻不知要打哪支號碼。
當然 ,手機中儲存著許多號碼 , 但哪一個是緊急聯絡人的號碼呢？
基於這個理由 , 我們必須要有以 ICE (In Case of Emergency) 假如發生緊急狀況 ) 為名的一個或更多的電話號碼儲存在我們的
手機中。
最近 , 'ICE'的概念正快速地蔓延形成 . 在緊急狀況時 ,它是一種簡單又重要的聯絡方式。
既然大多數人都攜帶手機 , 就把緊急聯絡人的電話號碼用 'ICE' 為代號儲存起來。
這個點子是由一位醫務人員想出來的。
他發現當他們到意外現場時 ,往往意外當事人身上都會攜帶手機 ,
但醫務人員不知道該打哪支號碼通知家屬。
因此他想如果在這種情況下 ,有一個全國性可辨識的名字，這將會是個好點子。
倫敦的一件災難後 , 東英救護部門便發起一個全國性的 '假如發生緊急狀況 (ICE)' 活動。
在緊急狀況下 ,緊急部門人員及醫院員工 ,只要撥打以 'ICE'為名儲存的電話號碼 ,
將可以很快速地聯絡上你的至親。
請將此封E-MAIL轉寄出去, 讓更多人知道。
它或許真的可以救你 (妳)的命。
如果有超過一個以上的緊急聯絡人,很簡單地, 只要輸入 ICE1, ICE2 和 ICE3... 等即可。
一個好主意, 讓一切將會有所不同!
現在就把儲存一個ICE號碼在我們手機中的概念傳揚開去!
請傳送此電郵給您的最親最密的朋友喔！謝謝！
