Despite these challenges, the TRC successfully met demands from the transfusion centres through rapid activation of its Emergency Crisis Board, inter\u2010regional redistribution of packed red blood cells and strategic donor management. Within 15\u2009days, 250,708 blood units were collected nationwide\u2014a 129% increase compared to pre\u2010disaster levels. Controlled donation scheduling, proactive communication and inter\u2010regional staff deployment ensured sustained operations and prevented overcollection. However, gaps in data interoperability between hospitals and TRC systems limited real\u2010time monitoring of clinical blood usage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The TRC's response demonstrated the effectiveness of a centralized and integrated blood service model in managing large\u2010scale emergencies. Key lessons include the importance of donor flow regulation, transparent communication and improved hospital data integration to enhance future disaster preparedness and resilience.<\/jats:p>\n
