Every year, people around the world are impacted by natural disasters—from hurricanes in the U.S. to floods in India—and Amazon is there to quickly help.

Amazon’s disaster relief program deploys critical infrastructure support, allowing emergency responders and nonprofit organizations to focus on their vital work of helping communities in crisis. We stock relief hubs with thousands of essential supplies that are ready for delivery to organizations on-the-ground, organize our fleet of cargo jets and trucks to deliver the items, and leverage AWS cloud technology to help emergency responders better understand and react to the situation.
