Amazon aids Texas communities mourning losses after devastating floods
A road sign and trees lay flat on the ground after a devastating flood in Ingram, Texas on Saturday July 5, 2025. As the full devastating impact of Texas flooding emerges, Amazon is working closely with relief partners to meet the needs of affected communities. Our hearts are with those who have been impacted by the deadly flash floods, which took at least 95 lives over the Fourth of July weekend. Among the floods’ many tragedies were the lost lives of 27 children and counselors at a summer camp along the Guadalupe River, which rose 26 feet in less than an hour after pounding rain hit the Texas Hill Country.
As search and rescue efforts continue, Amazon is closely coordinating with local partners on the ground to assess and meet emerging needs. Ensuring the safety of our employees and partners is also a top priority. We have a 24/7 operation dedicated to providing alerts and up-to-date information when severe events like this occur to help inform our operational and relief decisions.
Delivering critical supplies and financial aid
Hours after the flooding, Amazon provided financial assistance to multiple nonprofit partners and coordinated the delivery of food and emergency supplies from Whole Foods Market to first responders and displaced survivors in Kerrville, Texas. To date, our partners in response have included:
Additionally, from July 8-22, Whole Foods Market will hold a matching campaign for customers in all Texas stores to support American Red Cross flood relief efforts.
As we closely monitor the situation, we will mobilize our resources in collaboration with our partners and stand ready to support them as needed with the same robust logistics and technology that deliver goods to doorsteps every day.
