The Jan 12, 2010 7.0 magnitude Earthquake in Haiti was the deadliest with the most fatalities in last 20 years.
Take a look at the USGS Seismicity Maps for worldwide earthquake activity. A large full-scale detailed map is also available.

Christchurch, New Zealand has experienced several significant earthquakes, with the most notable being the Canterbury Earthquake sequence in 2010 and 2011. These earthquakes caused widespread damage and loss of life in the region.
There were 3 big ones (September 4th 2010, February 22 2011 and 2 on 13 June 2011. Although there have been dozens of other large ones (between magnitude 5-6) there have been well over 9,000 earthquakes/aftershocks to date. These still occur everyday and haven't ceased yet.
On March 11, 2011 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9. As of August 10 there were 4,308 earthquakes in or near Japan for year 2011 according to the USGS earthquake data (not including small quakes under M 3.0) with March the most active month of the year.

Tornadoes in Chile are rare, but there was one near the town of Villarrica in June of 2011 of about F1/EF1 strength.
The Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 did not generate tsunamis because they were caused by strike-slip faults, which do not displace water vertically to create a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by earthquakes associated with subduction zones or vertical displacements of the seafloor.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center records statistics for earthquakes in the US and worldwide. Between 2000 and 2011 the average number of earthquakes in the US was 3,820 per year that are magnitude 2.5 or higher.The majority of those earthquakes in the US are in Alaska and California with Hawaii in third place.http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/states/top_states.php
There are 3,859 days between the 31st of July 2000 and the 23rd of February 2011.
As of Oct 2011 there were 17 earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 and greater in 2011 with the largest being magnitude 9.0 in Japan on March 11th. The list of earthquakes by year (1990-Present) or by country can be found at the USGS Earthquake Hazards website. It provides a list of significant earthquakes for 2011 as well as a worldwide map of earthquakes for 2011. See link below maps, lists, and statistics.
look up the Japan earthquake that struck this year 2011, or american ones, try googling names of rich countries for there earthquake history and you should find something there to help you!!:DD

Christchurch, New Zealand has experienced significant earthquakes in the past, particularly the devastating earthquake in 2011. However, seismic activity has decreased since then, and the city is not currently as prone to frequent earthquakes as it was in the aftermath of the 2011 event.
The Mexican Peso has continually declined in value since 2000. Mexico like many other countries has had economic in stability causing the decline in value.
