***nshmp-haz-ws*** is a web-service wrapper around the *[nshmp-haz](https://github.com/usgs/nshmp-haz)* probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) platform. It is developed and maintained by the National Seismic Hazard Mapping Project ([NSHMP](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards)) within the U.S. Geological Survey's ([USGS](https://www.usgs.gov))  earthquake hazards program ([EHP](http://earthquake.usgs.gov)).  

*nshmp-haz-ws* services supply data to the USGS NSHMP [Unified Hazard Tool (UHT)](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/interactive/). While basic documentation on the use of the tool is available [here](https://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/interactive/documentation.php), this documentation describes the details of the underlying data and calculations, including descriptions or examples of:
* How to [run hazard and deaggregation services](building-&-running) locally.
* The different [editions](editions-explained) of the hazard models the NSHMP produces and their distinguidhing features.
* [Static vs. dynamic](editions-explained#static-vs-dynamic) data.
* Common [use cases](use-cases).
