(KLZA)--Blood shortages are beginning to crop up at some hospitals, so officials with the American Red Cross are urging eligible donors in Nebraska to give blood or platelets. Agency spokeswoman Sue Thesenga says May is Trauma Awareness Month. 

All blood types are needed. Thesenga says someone in the U-S needs blood every two seconds and a single victim of a car crash may need a hundred units.

The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be in Falls City on Monday, May 23rd and Tuesday, May 24th at Prichard Auditorium. The same two days there will be a Bloodmobile stop in Auburn at the 4-H Building at the Nemaha County Fairgrounds.
