Be Safe, Know Your Neighborhood

Keeping our family safe is a number one priority for parents. Before moving to a new area, it is best to do your homework and find out about the neighborhood. Aside from learning about the school district, you also need to know if there are persons convicted of sexual crimes nearby. For example, if you plan to live anywhere in Orlando, you can look into a list of Florida Sex Offenders. You can also use this list just to check if anyone with a record moved near you. All you need is either the county, city or zipcode to search. In these days and times, it's best to be safe than sorry.

ICE for 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 on 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 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 ICE 1, ICE 2 and ICE 3 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 do so.
