Consulting engineer), and Tim Walsh (DGER). Administrative and clerical support by Michelle Davis and Mary Ann Shawver of DGER contributed substantially to the success of the workshop. This workshop represents the effort to synthesize the wealth of new data gathered under the aegis of the NEHRP program for the Puget Sound and Portland areas and to translate it into engineering practice so as to reduce the risk from future earthquakes in the region. Attendance by more than 300 scientists, engineers, emergency planners, and others attests to the strong interest in understanding regional earthquake hazards and reducing future personal and property losses.
