How is Haiti doing since the earthquake?
I recently returned from Haiti this month and its recovery is a dichotomy of good and bad. The people are resilient as ever and are desperately seeking a way out of the misery created before and after the earthquake. But the country is in a permanent state of disrepair. Many of the roads still have earthquake cracks, houses have not been rebuilt, the majority of the people are still living in tent cities that are sprawled over the city, even the capitol building which was destroyed on Jan. 12, looks the same as the day the earthquake occurred. Small businesses have opened but there's hardly any official services, no water, electricity even mail is sporadic but there's plenty of security and flights are going in and out. For more information about Haiti and live updates on the rebuilding efforts go to the link provided below.

Why did the Haiti Earthquake have such an impact?
First off, it was a huge earthquake -- 7.0 magnitude. An earthquake of that size in any country will cause severe damage to buildings. Before the earthquake hit, Haiti was already an impoverished nation with buildings not able to withstand huge earthquakes. Without proper construction, the buildings were bound to collapse and kill thousands. In addition, Haiti is on an isolated island which makes getting supplies there very difficult, adding to the tragedy. All four of these reasons exacerbated the situation: 1. Size of the earthquake 2. Poor infrastructure 3. Isolation 4. Poverty It killed approximately 200,000 people, and left 1 million people homeless.
Was anything done to prevent the haiti earthquake?
There were some efforts to improve preparedness for earthquakes in Haiti, such as constructing more earthquake-resistant buildings and providing training for emergency response teams. However, the severity of the 2010 earthquake highlighted the need for further improvements in infrastructure and disaster preparedness in Haiti.
