The Dominican Republic was affected by the earthquake, however they were farther from the epicenter and received much less serious damage than Haiti did.

The Dominican Republic was not as severely affected by the Haiti earthquake because it was further away from the epicenter of the earthquake. The geography and tectonic plate boundaries in the region also played a role in the distribution of seismic activity. Additionally, the Dominican Republic has stronger infrastructure and building codes compared to Haiti, which helped minimize the impact of the earthquake.
