## Resource

The American Red Cross just issued a rare national blood emergency — only the second time in 145 years — as donations plummet amid extreme heat, poor air quality, and illness, while hospital demand surges. Type O blood, especially O negative, is critically low because it’s the universal donor, vital for emergencies and trauma cases. With summer trauma season in full swing, hospitals are scrambling — and they’re counting on everyday donors to step up. Your blood could literally save a life.
