Amazon again Places disaster relief efforts in Movement as Hurricane Florence set to punish Carolina Shore

A satellite image showing Hurricane Florence in the Atlantic Ocean this past week. Hurricane Florence, the creature Category 3 storm taking aim in the North and South Carolina shore, is forecast to make landfall at the end of the week and deliver with it devastating wind, rain and storm surge. Amazon is already preparing to do exactly what it can for people in the storm’s course. Dave Clark, senior vice president of operations for its Seattle-based tech giant, tweeted Wednesday about the way Amazon teams are already”forward deploying” relief provides to fulfillment centers closer to what’s predicted to be the purpose of effect in the region. “Trucks, planes and people are ready to help if required,” Clark said, adding that the company is working together with the Red Cross and many others.

Clark actually directed readers to learn more about the organization’s past efforts and the way its systems originated within this company blog post. The Disaster Relief by Amazon (DRbA) team has been formed to leverage the organization’s expertise in its core businesses and logistics. Amazon says it provided assistance to millions of people in 2017 that were affected by hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria, in addition to floods in India and earthquakes in Mexico. “We are uniquely positioned to set up a quick two-day distribution chain to aid relief efforts,” said Bettina Stix, an Amazon veteran credited to developing DRbA. “For example, we delivered our Prime Air planes with a full cargo load of relief items on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.” Although Amazon routinely shows its capacity to address specific challenges, Stix admitted there was one obstacle to dealing with hurricanes and even much more. “The biggest challenge has been the quantity and rapid succession of disasters that are unprecedented,” she said. This morning, a high definition camera out of the @Space_Station seized a stark and sobering opinion of #HurricaneFlorence since it churned across the Atlantic with winds of 130 miles an hour.
