Recent storms have left Alabama with a need to blood donations.
LifeSouth is putting out a call for blood donors after severe weather events affected both the current supply and the ability of people to donate. They say the community blood supply continues to be dangerously low due to the impact of COVID-19 and prior storms.
“During [the March 25] storms, our whole District only collected 73 units of blood total,” Kami May, District Community Development Coordinator said. “On average, Huntsville Hospital is known to request 80 units or more at a time to keep their trauma center stocked with an adequate amount of blood products,” May added.
LifeSouth officials report that this severe weather could not have come at a worse time, as there is a national shortage of blood, and the storm has impacted much needed blood drives. Donating ensures blood will be available to help those who may be injured or need a blood transfusion to survive.
