In Case of Emergency...I.C.E.

I.C.E.
Have you heard that storing I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) in your mobile phones with the name and contact number of the person you'd like to be reached can help paramedics if you're in an accident (God forbid) and are unable to speak?
Here's a nice tip for you. Do it today! Encourage your family and friends to do the same. I checked "Snopes.com" (website to check validity of rumors) to verify whether or not this is legitimate. And it is!

Snopes states, "the ideas is that you store the word "I C E " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency." In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact them. It's so simple. It really could save your life. For more than one contact name, ICE1, ICE2, etc."

Don't delay...do it today!
Peace,
Charlene
