Key Takeaways:

You can get pretty much anything from Amazon, and the residents of the villages in western Alaska devastated by the recent typhoon pretty much need everything.

So it makes sense that the Amazon Disaster Relief recently coordinated its first disaster response flight to the Last Frontier, bringing thousands of pounds of emergency supplies via Amazon Air to the Red Cross in Anchorage. The first shipment arrived on Sunday, October 19.
