Blood Emergency Readiness Corps
Blood Emergency Readiness Corps (känd som "BERC" eller "BERC-programmet") består av 33 USA-baserade blodcentraler som arbetar tillsammans för att tillhandahålla en nödreserv av blodprodukter för att reagera på en masskjutning eller massolycka. Programmet administreras av Alliance for Community Transfusion Services (ACTS). Hittills har BERC-reservatet svarat för att leverera blodprodukter som behövs till följd av Collierville Kroger-skjutningen ( Collierville , TN), Oxford High School-skjutningen 2021 ( Oxford Township , MI), Tornado-utbrottet 10–11 december 2021 , och Robb Elementary School Shooting ( Uvalde , TX).
