bridge a temporary gap in their operational budget for salaries, field training for docents and
volunteers, and community education while they work to obtain alternative, long-term funding;
and
WHEREAS, the Pacific Tsunami Museum is requesting funds to support the salaries of
three staff positions until April, as well as funds for a van rental for field training at various
tsunami sites and to create a recording/videography of co-founder Dr. Walter Dudley sharing his
knowledge of each museum exhibit to educate the community on our history and tsunami safety
awareness; and
