Workers with the American Red Cross say they typically see blood donations increase following a disaster.

HOLLAND, Mich. (WZZM)-The American Red Cross expects to see more donors at blood drives throughout West Michigan, because of Superstorm Sandy.

Tuesday, workers collected more than a dozen pints of blood from donors at the Holland Aquatic Center. Most of those donors had already committed to giving blood before the storm, but organizers say they typically see donations increase following a disaster.

The Red Cross is holding a blood drive Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Stanwood High School in Morley.
