Rhode Island Blood Center has declared a blood emergency and is issuing an urgent call for blood donors. The recent historic winter storm brought record snowfall and forced widespread blood drive cancellations, donor center closures, and travel disruptions across the state.
More than 1,500 blood donations were lost due to storm-related disruptions, leaving the region with less than a two-day blood supply, well below the 7-day level needed to support local hospitals.
