Blood supplies become critical in the winter as inclement weather and illness during flu season can prevent people from donating. In late January, the Red Cross put out an urgent call for donors of all blood types, and particularly for Type O. The organization reported just a three-day supply of Type O blood was available for patient emergencies and medical treatments.
