Following Japan&#8217;s devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2012, it became apparent that the web is a critical component of disaster prevention infrastructure. To address that need, the MozBus is equipped with its own on-board network, allowing it to function as a self-contained mobile information hub, providing web access and 3D printed goods to those who need it most.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7425\/9831494485_f061369b7c_d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><br \/>\nThe MozBus&#8217;s maiden voyage will take it\u00a0 north to Fukushima with a team from\u00a0 OpenStreetMap Society\/OpenRelief. Eventually, multiple Mozbuses will travel throughout Asia, focusing on disaster prone areas. These buses will also perform research activities and experiments, openly sharing data for anyone to use. \u00a0We&#8217;re excited to see how the MozBus\u00a0 provides opportunities for everyone to experience and understand the web.<\/p>\n<h4>Get Involved:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Follow the <a title=\"MozBus blog\" href=\"http:\/\/mozbus-en.tumblr.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MozBus blog.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Learn about the <a title=\"Mozilla Factory\" href=\"http:\/\/en.mozillafactory.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mozilla Factory<\/a> in Japan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mozilla Factory in Japan recently unveiled what is possibly the coolest webmaking tool yet: the Mozilla Bus!
