MOVE Community Outreach, an IEEE-USA Initiative, is an emergency relief program committed to assisting victims of natural disasters with short-term communications, computer, and power solutions. These temporary emergency relief provisions help those affected stay connected and make sure they can access the help they need. Services include phone charging, internet & communications support, and lighting to disaster victims.

When not deployed for natural disasters, MOVE volunteers conduct community outreach and facilitate learning opportunities for students and the general public in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). They have been as far west as Texas, and as far north as New York to get students excited about STEM.

IEEE-USA’s MOVE Community Outreach Trucks

A major component of this initiative (in addition to IEEE’s member volunteers) are IEEE-USA’s MOVE Community Outreach Trucks. The first truck (MOVE-1) went into service in March 2016. IEEE-USA’s second MOVE truck (MOVE-2) was donated by Cisco and delivered to IEEE-USA 30 July 2021.
