This is an excellent idea.
Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics
follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.  ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
  We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored

in
its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers  belong to our closest family or friends.
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.
Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person
 in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.
 The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of
 contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by
the majority of the population, 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 recognized 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 dialing the number you
 have stored as 'ICE.'

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 this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before

 everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a
loved one's mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

(This piece of advice came to my attention via a forwarded email, there was no signature and no one claimed to have written it).

I recently came across this link...news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/4674331.stm  I think I have found the owner of this great idea, if not, let me know!  Thanx!
