Overview

What is AWS Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centers globally. Millions of customers—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—are using AWS to lower costs, become more agile, and innovate faster. AWS Disaster Response Amazon Web Services (AWS) enables disaster response organizations to access cloud services at the edge, even in the harshest conditions. The AWS Disaster Response Action Team allows customers to focus on mission-critical functions, while AWS provisions critical data and applications, transports hardware to the base of operations, and implements deployable infrastructure based on customer need. How AWS Disaster Response Helps Rebuilding Connectivity:Disasters can leave telecommunications infrastructure damaged or destroyed. Communications networks are critical for operational planning, managing resources, and accessing critical data on AWS. AWS deploys technical volunteers to help restore local connectivity so responders can do their most important work.Disaster Mapping:AWS offers agility for disaster responders to leverage cloud technology at the edge. Core response functions, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology for disaster assesments, can become a bottleneck when processing and analyzing large datasets in the field. With AWS, responders can complete tasks locally and direct resources, even if internet connectivity is disrupted. This can save weeks compared to traditional methods.Building Applications for Good:Having the information available to make critical decisions is paramount when responding to a disaster. AWS works with customers and partners to build software solutions that improve government and nonprofits’ preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities. Making data openly available through the AWS Open Data Program enables the disaster response community’s resiliency and effectiveness, through sharing and analyzing data at scale. AWS Project Resilience As part of the AWS Disaster Response program, Project Resilience supports governmental, non-profit, multilateral, and educational institutions impacted by or responding to natural disasters whose business continuity is critical to a community’s resilience. We’re offering up to $5,000 USD in AWS Project Resilience Promotional Credits to new and existing AWS customers, as well as Partners in the AWS Partner Network, to support customers' business continuity plans in the cloud.
