The American Red Cross is urging residents in non-impacted areas to give blood as Hurricane Florence batters the Carolina coastline.
The organization had to cancel about 130 blood drives because of the hurricane, so it's calling on volunteers from outside the area to donate.
The group made the announcement at a FEMA news briefing.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio admits that the Republican tax cut plan, which benefits corporations and the wealthy, will require cuts to Social Security and Medicare to pay for it.
To address the federal deficit, which will grow by at least $1 trillion if the tax plan passes, Congress will need to cut entitlement programs such as Social Security, Rubio told reporters this week. Advocates for the elderly and the poor have warned that entitlement programs would be on the chopping block, but this is the first time a prominent Republican has backed their claims.
