International Tsunami Museum Khao Lak, Thailand Dr. David Sattler, Ph.D. Disaster Researcher, Professor of Psychology Western Washington University, USA - PowerPoint presentation, text and photographs Copyright © 2010 by David N. Sattler. All Rights Reserved. "Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity." - Buddha Saying and Proverb

Topics for the exhibits (e. g Topics for the exhibits (e.g., physical, social, and mental health effects) are based, in part, on our research projects examining psychological functioning of tsunami survivors. Exhibit topics include: - Earthquakes, Tectonic Plates, and Tsunamis - Effects of the Tsunami on the Environment - Social Effects: Rebuilding Livelihoods and Communities - The World Becomes One: Aid and Assistance Provided by People Around the World - In Focus: Working Together for Recovery and Reconstruction (An in-depth look at recovery efforts) - Tsunami Warning System - Tsunami Warning Signs - Personal Stories of Hope and Resilience Exhibits were in Thai and English.

Museum Activities: Educating Children Children, parents, and teachers from local village schools had field trips to the museum. The teachers created lesson plans. Children and parents used information in the museum to learn about tsunamis. They shared the information with family members and friends.

Museum Reviews “In a subtle and ethical way, visitors are introduced to the tragic events of December 26, 2004.” Phuket Gazette Newspaper , Phuket, Thailand, January 20, 2007 "I felt proud walking into the museum and realizing it was created by a Western Washington University (WWU) professor and students. My husband and I are graduates of WWU and were recently in Khao Lak on vacation. You did a great job capturing the social impact and presenting the scientific perspective. Well done!” Jana H., WWU Alumni

Disaster Preparedness - Disaster preparedness “must be achieved through proper education via media campaigns… and the school system.” “[If the public had recognized] the receding sea as an early warning of impending killer waves then thousands of lives would have been saved.” - - Prema-Chandra Athukorala & Budy Resosudarmo Australian National University, 2006

Tsunami Education Video Project - Project funded by a grant to Dr. Sattler from Psychology Beyond Borders We adapted information in the museum exhibits and created an educational video. The video is titled Learning about Tsunamis with Jai the Elephant, and is distributed to schools for free. Dr. Sattler produced the video Joseph Swanson (WWU student) and Robert Clark (WWU Video Services). It is available in Thai and with English subtitles. Results of research projects show the video effectively teaches about tsunami threats.

Jai the Elephant and her friends show viewers how countries worked together to build a tsunami warning system; the warning signs of a tsunami; and what to do if a tsunami comes.

Conclusion Museums can (a) serve as a community resource, (b) actively promote awareness about disaster threats, and (c) work with schools and organizations. - - Museums can commemorate the event and serve as a memorial. - - Museums can show hope, resilience, and the human spirit, and help people move forward with their lives.
