Amazon's disaster relief and response efforts leverage Amazon's vast operational excellence, innovative technologies, and global logistics network to provide fast and effective support to worldwide operations fighting large-scale natural disasters. Amazon has filled cargo jets and shipped truckloads of Amazon-donated items for communities ravaged by hurricanes, sent solar-powered lights to people living without power after tsunamis, enabled customers to easily donate products and cash on Amazon.com, and helped organizations including governments and nonprofits expedite response efforts at scale through our Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud services.

Since 2017, Amazon has donated more than 13 million relief items to support people impacted by over 60 natural disasters around the world. In 2020, we committed $20 million to launch the AWS Diagnostic Development Initiative, a two-year commitment to accelerate cloud-powered diagnostics tools to mitigate current and future outbreaks of infectious diseases like Covid-19.
