***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](http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/)) within the U.S. Geological Survey's ([USGS](https://www.usgs.gov)) earthquake hazards program ([EHP](http://earthquake.usgs.gov)). 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.
