IEEE MOVE Puerto Rico Meeting

#MOVE #Puerto #Rico

Hurricane Season 2024 forecasts show that it will be an active season. Puerto Rico communities have endured past natural disasters, such as Hurricane Maria and Fiona. As survivors, many of us have experienced the need to help after a disaster without having a clear view of what to do.

The MOVE program offers the opportunity to help in moments like this and organizes collaboration with the American Red Cross in the USA and Puerto Rico. Now, the MOVE program is part of the IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board.

If you are interested in volunteering with the MOVE Program in Puerto Rico, join us next Monday, May 20, from 6:00 pm to discuss how you can contribute to our program and humanity. Register here.

If you cannot attend, you can sign up here. Our team will contact you. Thank you!
