MOVE: In a Nutshell For Disaster Survivors Who have survived the initial catastrophe, MOVE (MObile VEhicle ) Is an IEEE Project that creates and operates a vehicle for disaster relief That provides needed communications, light & power support to victims Unlike some First Responder Efforts (e.g., ARRL, RACES) Our project is intended to help the disaster survivors by supplying valuable services until normal infrastructure is restored. Additionally it energizes the IEEE volunteer base, highlights skills, promotes public awareness and more

Goals Provide communications, energy, light & information to disaster survivors Give comfort to survivors Provide communication, energy, information & light to disaster victims Educational outreach to STEM students & Public Engage Members through project involvement utilizing their technical skills Share results widely, adapt to other regions Build trained volunteer communities Promote IEEE Write down all the reasons why your company would want to spend money on this project in the first place. Then pick and highlight the most important one.

Together, we engineer a brighter future Presenter, optional quotes that you audience may find inspiring : Thomas Alva Edison “If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.” “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Alexander Graham Bell "The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking" (c.1906) “The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.”
