The following message was forwarded to me from someone who got it from someone at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.  Sounds like a good suggestion in case of any kind of emergency:

Following the disaster in London, the Ambulance Service has launched a national "In case of Emergency (ICE)" worldwide campaign.

The idea is that you store the word "ICE" 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 that everyone can do it. Please do.

Please will you also email this to all the people you know, 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.

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

It's a great idea, store it in your phone then pass on the message to your family and friends....

Of course, if you're local language isn't English, might this pose a problem?  Maybe you'd want to use the word "emergency" in your local language?

You may now resume your regular blogging activities :-)
