Give the Gift of Life
January is National Blood Donor Month and OEM encourages New Yorkers to make a difference by donating blood. One pint of donated blood can save up to three lives. Hospitals and blood banks need regular replenishment of blood, especially during the winter months when they are in short supply. Blood products are perishable - donated red cells only last 42 days and platelets last only five days - so it's important to donate regularly.
This blog and its author are in no (formal) way connected with the New York City Office of Emergency Management. The content has been pasted from the OEM "Tip of the Week" that can be subscribed to via the page http://www.nyc.gov/oemnews.
(This blog was created as an easy way for me to generate an RSS feed with the history of the tips, since I didn't see that anywhere on NYC.gov.)
September 2009 to June 2012, then occasionally: Also included FEMA "Tip of the Week" messages as they came through. I am not connected to FEMA or DHS in any way, either.
