Chile often has earthquakes, though not as strong as this 2010 one, so they have strict building codes for new buildings. The buildings then are stronger and many of them will not fall down.

Most of the people died in Haiti because of the many buildings that were destroyed by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake.
Haiti lost loads of buildings, water supplies, medicene and money. It also lost loads of people due to fallen buildings, and many thus were made homeless.
Most buildings in Haiti were not built to withstand even a moderate earthquake. Almost all of the structures collapsed or were badly damaged, with significant loss of life. Many victims were buried under rubble and the poor infrastructure of the country did not have the means to rescue them. The government of Haiti was nearly powerless to provide any response to the disaster and depended on foreign assistance, chiefly from the US and Latin American nations.
