NGA West 2

The results of this program are expected to be of great interest to the earthquake engineering community, as it is expected that the improved models will be reviewed by USGS for consideration in future updates of the United States National Seismic Hazard Maps and incorporation in the building code.

Throughout the project there will be various public workshops to solicit feedback and advice from various stakeholders and future users of the attenuation models. All earthquake engineering professionals and academics are encouraged to follow the progress of the NGA-West2 program and participate in these workshops. At the conclusion of the program, PEER will run an active dissemination campaign to ensure that the earthquake engineering community is aware of the resulting research findings.
