The New York community Web site Ny.com is maintaining an updated list of known survivors from the attacks on the World Trade Center at http://www.ny.com/wtclist.html. The Web site administrators are working to remove duplicate entries from the list but no updates will be made between 1am and 8am Eastern Standard Time. By Wednesday morning the list was carrying around 1,800 names of survivors and the injured but did not include information on the deceased.
The Internet service provider Prodigy is maintaining a check-in "I'm Okay" Web site for New York, Washington, D.C. and Pittsburgh at http://okay.prodigy.net.
The Disaster Message Service at http://www.viexpo.com/dmstest/america.html, which in the past has facilitated communication after events like natural disasters, is maintaining a missing persons message board. Members of the public looking to track down friends and relatives can post messages here.

These include Morgan Stanley (http://www.morganstanley.com) and Marsh and McLennan companies (http://www.marsh.com/). More contact information for World Trade Center tenant companies, plus a full listing of the companies, is being carried by MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.com/local/WNCN/M90299.asp).
