This is a population impact map. (click title to entry - thank you) Sorry to all those with family in Haiti. That poor country is hit with so much natural disaster. They just don't get a break. This could be one of the most devastating events in Haiti since any major hurricane. Very well could be more infrastructure damage than hurricane force winds. The buildings are not up to any substantial code. The epicenter appears to be at populated areas.

Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are vulnerable to earthquake shaking, though some resistant structures exist. On June 24, 1984 (UTC), a magnitude 6.7 earthquake 329 km East of this one struck the Dominican Republic, with estimated population exposures of 320,000 at intensity VII and 2,964,000 at intensity VI, resulting in an estimated 5 fatalities. Recent earthquakes in this area have caused landslides that may have contributed to losses.
