Central U.S. Regional Subcommittee
for the
Advanced National Seismic System

Following the example of the National Committee, the Regional Subcommittee must represent all users of seismic information within the region. The broad use categories identified were for emergency response, engineering, education, and basic and applied research. In addition, the Regional Subcommittee must be sufficiently small to enhance productivity. Fourteen discplines were targeted for representation on the CUS Regional Subcommittee and candidates for each were proposed:
