Amazon is providing aid to communities in Mexico affected by recent flooding caused by Tropical Storms Priscilla and Raymond. The storms resulted in landslides and flooding across the states of Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, Queretaro, and San Luis Potosi.
The company is working with local organizations such as the Mexican Red Cross (Cruz Roja Mexicana) and a network of 60 food banks (Bancos de Alimentos de Mexico) to deliver essential relief supplies. These supplies are being distributed from Amazon’s Disaster Relief hub near Mexico City. The hub is stocked with flood mitigation equipment, hygiene kits, and other items needed for emergency response. This facility is one of 15 similar hubs Amazon operates globally to support communities affected by disasters.
Amazon has stated that the safety of its employees and partners is its top priority during emergencies. The company’s teams monitor severe weather events and provide timely updates to guide operational decisions. “We remain committed to supporting our employees and the community impacted by these floods. We’re closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with relief organizations while encouraging everyone to prioritize safety and follow local emergency officials’ guidance,” said Amazon’s Head of Disaster Relief Abe Diaz.
