CISN

The CISN provides reliable monitoring and continuous reporting of all significant earthquake activity in California. The CISN distributes notification of earthquakes electronically through the Web and through other means... The CISN began in November 2000, when the six core institutions signed a Memorandum Of Agreement describing organizational goals and products, management, and the responsibilities of the member organizations. The Steering Committee oversees CISN projects while the external Advisory Committee, representing the interests of structural engineers, seismologists, emergency managers, industry, government, and utilities, provides review. Day to day management is done by the Program Management Group. A Standards Committee meets regularly to discuss, resolve and coordinate technical design and implementation questions. Finally, a Strong Motion Working Group focuses on topics related to strong-motion data.
