OneBlood staffers ask that all donors living in areas unaffected by hazardous weather donate as soon as possible to help ensure the local supply remains strong.
While all blood types are needed, people with Rh negative type blood and platelets donors are in the highest demand.
The local blood donation center is at 2400 S. Ferdon Blvd. Suite B, Crestview.
Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. Learn more about donation at www.oneblood.org.
