How Amazon is helping flood-impacted communities in Mexico
Photo by BRYAN DENTONAmazon has donated and delivered more than 17,000 emergency supplies to help hundreds of communities recover from devastating floods in central and southeastern Mexico. The floods took dozens of lives and destroyed homes, businesses, and infrastructure across five Mexican states in October.
More than 260 volunteers from Amazon contributed to relief efforts, packing boxes of food and emergency supplies to help their neighbors. After tropical storms unleashed torrential rain and landslides, more than 100 communities were completely inaccessible by road for days. Amazon partnered with five local nonprofits to provide aid to the hardest hit communities, including the cities of Poza Rica and Alamo.
Our emergency donations included equipment to clear blocked roads, tarps to protect damaged homes, and food for displaced families. We worked with more than 200 food banks across impacted states to distribute more than 2,000 boxes of food. Each box held enough food to support a family of four for up to 10 days.
Amazon’s wide-ranging support efforts in Mexico were coordinated with five trusted local nonprofits, including:
Cruz Roja Mexicana described support from Amazon and others as vital to the overall flood recovery efforts.
“Every item delivered represents the possibility of recovering faster and with dignity. Together, we have reached where help is needed most,” said Carlos Freaner Figueroa, Cruz Roja Mexicana’s national president.
A newly opened Disaster Relief hub near Mexico City made it possible for Amazon to donate and deliver essential items hours after the floods hit central and southeastern Mexico. The hub is stocked with essential items to support communities as quickly as possible in the aftermath of natural disasters. It’s one of 15 hubs situated globally near disaster-prone areas. Opened in February, the Mexico hub previously supported communities after a severe thunderstorm flooded many parts of the state of Tamaulipas in April.
Since 2017, Amazon has donated and delivered more than 26 million relief items to support people impacted by more than 200 disasters worldwide. Learn more about our disaster relief efforts.

Amazon aids communities after devastating losses in central and southeastern Mexico
Amazon has donated and delivered more than 13,000 emergency supplies to flood-impacted communities in Mexico in partnership with local nonprofits.
The supplies—including tarps, hygiene kits, and debris and flood cleanup equipment—are helping hard-to-reach communities deal with devastating losses after floods, including lost loved ones, destroyed homes, and impassable roads. The damage triggered by torrential rain and landslides extends across five Mexican states, including Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, Querétaro, and San Luis Potosí.
“We stand with everyone affected by this terrible disaster,” said Diego Méndez de la Luz, director of operations at Amazon Mexico. “Hours after the floods, we started quickly mobilizing our products, our people, and our resources to help communities recover as soon as possible. Personally, as a proud Veracruz native who spent much of my childhood in the Huasteca region, I am honored to support these efforts and grateful for what our organization is willing to contribute.”

Amazon is working with local nonprofits to get help where it’s needed most
Amazon is working closely with the Mexican Red Cross (Cruz Roja Mexicana), Centro Nacional de Apoyo para Contingencias Epidemiológicas y Desastres (CENACED), and a network of 60 food banks (Bancos de Alimentos de Mexico) to serve communities impacted by the latest severe floods. Hundreds of communities are cut off from the rest of the country after roads and bridges collapsed.
In addition to donating and delivering supplies, Amazon employees are volunteering as relief coordinators, packaging essential items, and supporting our nonprofit partners. Amazon will continue to provide support to our neighbors in need in the coming days and weeks.
