Title
Development and deployment of the IEEE MOVE emergency relief vehicle.
Abstract
IEEE is offering a mobile emergency relief program committed to assisting victims of natural disasters with short-term solutions for communications, computer-access, and power. These temporary emergency relief provisions help people stay connected and make sure they can access the help they need. The method of providing these services is through the IEEE USA-sponsored Mobile Outreach VEhicle (MOVE). This vehicle has a large array of technology available that will support affected victims by providing USB-based charging devices, displaying information provided by relief organizations, and making two-way communications available (on a limited basis). IEEE volunteers will deploy the vehicle to disaster areas at the request of the American Red Cross Organization. When the vehicle is not deployed, IEEE volunteers will also conduct community outreach and learning opportunities for the general public in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). This paper describes the needs identification, focus group interview, design, and development activity of the IEEE MOVE Vehicle. Special emphasis will be made on the functionality of the vehicle and development of relationships with sponsoring organizations.
