nshmp-haz is a Java-based platform for conducting probabilistic seismic hazard (PSHA) and related analyses. It is developed and maintained by the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project (NSHMP) within the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) earthquake hazards program (EHP). The primary goals nshmp-haz are to:

1. Enable high performance seismic hazard calculations required to generate detailed maps over large areas and
2. Support a variety of USGS web services and applications related to seismic hazards research and the dissemination of hazard data.
