Unlike Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA), Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) allows uncertainties in the size, magnitude, location, site condition, and rate of recurrence of earthquakes to be considered in the evaluation of seismic hazards for a particular project site. This post uses the presentations of Professor Kevin Franke from Brigham Young University and Professor Jack Baker from Stanford University to provide an overview of PSHA.

You should try using OPENQUAKE, an open source PSHA engine developed by GEM in Italy. https://www.globalquakemodel.org/oq-get-started
Thanks Bonifacius. I just downloaded the software. It is very useful.
