Over the weekend, Microsoft announced that first responders and emergency organisations and their needs will be prioritised when distributing their new cloud resources.

As more and more people across the world are encouraged to work and study from home to reduce the spread of Covid--19, digital resources are not only becoming more widely used, but are also becoming essential utilities. As a result, Microsoft has seen an increase in demand for its cloud services, particularly by first responders and emergency organisations.
