Participants from the Consortium of Organizations for Strong-Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS)/Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center(PEER) Lifeline project have created a new web site at the first URL to disseminate information and receive feedback about the project, the goal of which is to develop a virtual data center linking a variety of seismic data sets. The second URL contains an on-line survey to assess how practitioners and researchers currently generate, store, and disseminate geotechnical information. The survey, which takes about 30 minutes to complete, will provide a baseline of current practices for future developments. Researchers request that interested individuals go to the Web site to answer survey questions.
