This is a training session for IEEE members who wish to be volunteers for the IEEE MOVE truck. This 6 hour training (we will provide lunch) will prepare you to set up and run the truck communications and energy systems. IEEE-USA and the American Red Cross are partnering on the MOVE Community Outreach program to provide short-term communications and power solutions after natural disasters and infrastructure failures. Services will include cell phone charging, communication of real-time information and Internet access for the public. Volunteer IEEE engineers and technologists, through a specially constructed Mobile Outreach VEhicle (MOVE), will travel to disaster zones to offer the know-how and technology to provide rechargeable power banks, real-time survivor information and Wi-Fi until regular electricity and data services can be restored. Parking: Free parking is in front of the EPIC building. Group travel will be organized for this event.
