Nearly 200 geotechnical engineers, practicing geologists, government regulators and others recently attended a two-day SCEC workshop that explained "Recommended Procedures for Implementation of DMG Special Publication 117: Guidelines for Analyzing and Mitigating Landslide Hazards in California." Because of the outstanding response to the sold-out workshop, a second workshop will be held in Los Angeles (February 20-21) for those who were unable to attend the first.

Register for the Workshop

The course materials are now available for order. These include extensive printed materials including all PowerPoint presentations, and two CDs with software tools and PDF files of all presentations and printed materials. As a bonus, the CD includes PDF files of the presentations given at the 1999 SCEC Liquefaction workshop and both the Landslide and Liquefaction Procedures documents. Download the order form here.

Furthermore, an updated (June 2002) version of the Landslide Procedures document was made available to workshop attendees. This update is now available for download from the SCEC Catalog web page.
