When a natural disaster (earthquake, flood, hurricane) hits, how much blood goes to that area?
Victims injured by these disasters either die right away, or sustain injuries that don’t require blood transfusions. If the local blood center is unable to collect and process blood, Red Cross blood centers in other areas of the country often ship blood in to help with everyday needs of patients in hospitals.
