Forecast for Saturday indicates indoor humidity may reach 68% between 10:00–11:00 a.m. Under the Museum Preservation Protocol, if humidity is 65% or higher anytime before noon, the following rules apply:
- Exhibition opening must be moved 90 minutes earlier than scheduled
- Viewing window reduced by 45 minutes
- Dehumidification units increase by 30% over original plan
- Use of ionizing air purifiers is optional under the protocol

Original plan: doors open 10:00 a.m.; viewing window 7 hours; 10 dehumidifiers in active gallery zones; 2 staff per dehumidifier scheduled. We can bring in up to 8 additional climate-control staff if required. Visitor bookings currently at 1,900. If opening is before 9:00 a.m., we typically see around a 78% attendance rate; otherwise higher. We can allocate 40% of zones to ionizing air purifiers alongside dehumidifiers if cleared.

Recommend activating humidity protocol. Please shift opening 90 minutes earlier and reduce viewing window by 45 minutes. For conservation consistency, avoid ionizing purifiers; dehumidifiers only. Minimum staffing requirement remains 2 per device during operational hours.
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement can be shown to be true based on the information in the three emails. Otherwise select No.
