Learn about MOVE Volunteers and opportunities in the organization founded by IEEE President Elect: Mary Ellen Randall.

The program is committed to assisting victims of and responders to natural disasters with short-term communications, technology, and power solutions. These temporary emergency relief provisions help people stay connected and ensure access to the help they need. Services include internet, charging stations, and lighting resources.
