Here’s what to do as Hurricane Lowell nears our island home ☔️

When severe weather hits, hospitals face an immediate need for blood to treat potential storm-related casualties.

Because blood cannot be manufactured and takes time to test and process, having a secure supply before the storms make landfall is critical to saving lives.

Preparing your household with water, food, batteries, and fuel is crucial—but making sure our local healthcare system is stocked to treat emergency injuries is just as vital.

How you can help keep Hawaiʻi safe:

​• Prepare your emergency kit: Water, food, batteries, and power sources.

​• Donate blood early: Ensure emergency rooms are equipped for any casualties.

​• Step up this Labor Day: If you are able, join us on Monday, Sept 7th to donate and make a difference. As our Mahalo, all Labor Day donors will receive a $10 gift card.
