HAMPTON ROADS/NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA — Blood and platelet donation drives are being held by the Red Cross in Hampton Roads and northeastern North Carolina because of the impact Hurricane Florence had on donations across the region.
The blood drives will be held across a variety of local areas between Sep. 20 through Oct. 15.
“Natural disasters like hurricanes can disrupt blood drives and prevent donors from giving, but hospital patients still depend on lifesaving transfusions,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Blood Services. “There is an especially critical need for platelets to help cancer patients and type O blood donations for ongoing patient care and emergencies. Every donation can be a lifeline for patients.”
The Red Cross said in a news release that blood and platelet donations at hospitals have taken a toll after Hurricane Florence left catastrophic damage and flooding in the Carolinas.
Nearly 200 Red Cross blood drives in the Southeast were forced to cancel, resulting in more than 5,200 uncollected blood and platelet donations.
In Virginia, 34 blood drives were called off due to the storm, causing nearly 1,000 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. In North Carolina, 56 blood drives were canceled — impacting over 2,000 donations.
