How could Haiti have been better prepared in the 2010 earthquake?
It could have had better public infrastructure, building codes and government.
Why there was no tsunami after Haiti's earthquake?
Haiti's earthquake was not strong enough to produce a tsunami. The earthquake caused a lot of destruction in Haiti, but that was largely because the buildings in Haiti had not been designed to withstand earthquakes. The earthquake in Haiti had its epicentre on LAND not in the ocean. Thus there was no sea floor movement associated with the earthquake which could have produced a tsunami.
Could they predict the Haiti earthquake?
Yes, they could, thanks to the Richter Scale.

How bad would a 5 magnitude earthquake be?
Well, consider this; Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake. A magnitude 5 could either be worse, or better than that. It depends where the earthquake hits. If it strikes a overpopulated city, then the death toll and destruction would be high. If it hits a remote area, the quake could go unnoticed and unharmful.
What countries could feel the vibration of Haiti's earthquake?
Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.

Could the destruction of Haiti earthquake be reduced?
Yes, If the buildings in Port au Prince had been built to a standard which could withstand earthquakes they would not have collapsed in the earthquake and fewer people would have been hurt or killed.
Why was Haiti unprepared for the earthquake?
Haiti was unprepared because it is a LEDC country, meaning it is a less econimically delevoped country. it had little money so could not afford to research much about Earthquakes and then prepare against them.
What could happen if you are not prepared for an earthquake?
If you were not prepared for an earthquake several things could happen. 1) sometimes the earthquake wont be that bad because it hit in somewhere else and all you got the little rumbles and thats only because the earthquake wore out. 2) If an earthquake hit where you was at you could get lucky and dont get injured at all, you can be very injured or you can be killed. 3) If the earth quake is very falal and it wipes out everything you will probaly be homeless and poor because you dont have any food or money.
What were the environmental effects of the haiti earthquake?
With all the dead bodies lying under the rubble, the things from the bodies could run into the ground and then into the lakes/streams, causing contamination. This means people could get diseases like cholera, etc.Chemicals and oils could leak out of damaged storage facilities.Lots of unwanted rubbleThe earthquake destroyed 98% of Haiti's forest cover.Thousands of buildings were torn down.Hope this helps you! :D
