Decreased donor availability during the summer months has left the United States about 30,000 blood donations short, prompting the American Red Cross to call for help.
Clearly, Utah's own blood shortage has nothing to do with a hurricane, but Warren said that there is simply a constant demand. He said lack of donations usually has a greater impact on blood shortage than any spike in need for blood.
"While the majority of blood collected locally remains within the community, exceptions are made when specific blood types are required elsewhere, if Utah requires a particular blood type, it can be supplied from another region," said Red Cross regional communications director Paul Keith. "This efficient system of mutual support ensures that despite fluctuations in local supplies, the demand for blood can be met nationwide.
