Tyler Zigmond Sci-350: Leadership and Ethics in Geoscience Southern New Hampshire University December 3rd, 2023 Milestone 3 As a stakeholder in the Vesuvius Observatory Museum, there are certain things that you should be made aware of, as is your right. As with anything you are involved with, you should know the location, the function of the location, and the risks associated with the location. This is so you can be better associated with where your funds are going, and how they are being allocated. Along with that, it will allow for you to be able to be aware of the inherent risk in your investment before a major disaster occurs that could jeopardize that. On top of the risks to your investment, there is also the risk to individuals near an active volcano, in case of an eruption. When communicating important information to our stakeholders, I would create a GIS story map of the area that details the benefits of everything we do. It would be able to accurately show the benefits and risks, the areas that show the most useful areas for research, and danger zones. With this project, it is important for the shareholders to understand the different uses that we have. The museum is useful for the providing easy to digest information to the general public. It is educational and can bring in visitors. The observatory section is important because the volcano is still active. With any active volcano, the risk is present for activity. Even though a large eruption hasnt happened in hundreds of years, lesser activity happening less than a hundred years ago.

I would create a volcanic hazard map of the area, along with a map with multiple layers showing the range of eruption events from the past. This would be the best way to show the stakeholders that we are attempting to minimize risks, along with planning for the future in order to keep as many visitors and staff safe in case of a serious event. For stakeholders that have a financial investment in us, I would work to show that a plan to develop the museum more would lead towards sustainability and even profit. When looking at the constraints of the museum, we need to look at the physical location first. The museum was built over 150 years ago and is located very close to Mt. Vesuvius. With the difficulty that would be present in expanding or renovating the location, it leaves us with little paths in order to improve on the location. The proposal I would have would be to relocate the museum. While it would be important to keep monitoring devices closer to the museum, we could rebuild the museum in a safer location that is easy to get to. One that is close enough to be able to still see the volcano, however, it would have other ways that the visitors could learn about the past and the landmark. Legally, keeping everyone safe is the most important. Nothing should jeopordize the safety of the visitors, nor the accuracy of the data. I believe moving the educational parts of the museum would balance the financial, legal, and ethical obligations. Technology has come a long way, and interactive 3-D diagrams would bring more individuals in, along with provide just as much of an educational benefit as being on the volcano. This would cause for a large investment from our shareholders, but would be a recoverable amount over time. The new museum would draw in more visitors, which would increase the revenue made by the location. Being further away would also help to lower insurance costs, since it can be proven that the location would have a lower risk of damage due to an eruption.
