It brings assistance in terms of short-term communications\, computer\, and power solutions\, allowing those affected by these natural disasters to stay connected. The trucks ar e staffed by IEEE volunteers who cross train with the Red Cross to provide technology and services at disaster sites. When not deployed for natural disasters\, MOVE volunteers conduct community outreach and facilitate lear ning opportunities for students and the general public in the areas of Sci ence\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM).This talk will include n ew developments with regard to expansion beyond the US and will also most highlight recent disaster responses.\n\nQuestions are encouraged for an in teractive Q and A.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/288245 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/288245 ORGANIZER:kathyhh@gmail.com SEQUENCE:21 SUMMARY:IEEE MOVE - Fireside Chat with Mary Ellen Randall and Tim Lee URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/288245 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Sponsored by </strong><strong>IEEE Region 6</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>The MOVE Initiative - A Fireside Chat with Mary Ellen Randall</strong></p>\n<p>Please join our Fi reside chat with Mary Ellen Randall\, as we learn about the MOVE (Mobile O utreach Volunteer Engagement) Initiative.&nbsp\; We will learn how the ini tiative started\, the amazing impacts that it has made to communities thro ughout the country and the international growth of the MOVE Global Initiat ive. &nbsp\;Upcoming sessions and volunteer opportunities will also be dis cussed providing details on how you can volunteer or support this impactfu l initiative. &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>MOVE is an IEEEUSA initiative where IEEE vol unteers help with both natural disaster relief and STEM educational effort s.&nbsp\; Centered around the MOVE truck and its capabilities\, MOVE volun teers learn about the truck capabilities\, how to operate safely as a MOVE team member\, what to expect on a deployment and what is expected.&nbsp\; Come join the exciting MOVE team and provide comfort for people who have been impacted by a natural disaster.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p><br /><br />Agenda : <br /><p>In March 2021\, the&nbsp\;IEEE&nbsp\;MOVE (Mobile Outreach Volu nteer Engagement) celebrated its 5th anniversary of providing service to t he community.
