## Resource

Blood supplies are plummeting—down 20%—as Memorial Day kicks off “trauma season,” when accidents spike and demand skyrockets. With scheduled donations down 90% of the total, thousands of units vanished in just one week. Summer’s risky activities mean more crashes, and one accident can need 100 units.
