The problem is the nature of an earthquake. They are shifts along fault lines that can just start moving at will. There is often some indication that these are about to occur though. Sensors can show us that the fault line is felling stress about three minutes before the earthquake actually occurs. This is still an emerging science though, so more research is needed before this is used to predict future events.
In some cases, there were warnings given in Haiti before the earthquake hit, such as earthquakes before the main event. However, the impact of those warnings and the effectiveness of communication channels were limited. Haiti's infrastructure and communication systems were significantly damaged, contributing to the challenges in issuing timely warnings.
Earthquakes are typically monitored and warned using seismometers and seismic networks that detect ground motion. When an earthquake is detected, warnings can be issued through systems like ShakeAlert in the US or Japan's Earthquake Early Warning system to provide alerts to people before strong shaking arrives. These warnings give individuals and organizations a few seconds to minutes to take protective actions.
No specific warning was issued before the Haiti earthquake on January 12, 2010. Earthquakes are challenging to predict, so advanced warnings are typically not possible. However, seismic monitoring and preparedness measures can help mitigate the impact of such events.
The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.
Earthquake detection methods help provide early warnings, allowing people to take necessary safety precautions. They also aid in the monitoring and studying of seismic activity, which can improve understanding of earthquake patterns and behaviors. Additionally, these methods can assist in disaster preparedness and response planning.
many people heard the warnings on the news or they didnt know what was coming next
There are none.

there were many warnings about mount St.Helen if they had an earthquake it would trigger the volcano to erupt causing the people to know if it will erupt or not

It is not possible to issue warnings about earthquakes at present as they cannot be predicted with current knowledge.It is hoped that in the future, warnings will be able to be issued for some types of earthquakes that have foreshocks (smaller earthquakes that happen before the major quake). There is no mention of foreshocks for the Gisborne 2007 quake on the Geonet website. There were aftershocks. See the related links.

The Chile earthquake gave tsunami warnings and destroyed an entire city, which killed over 300 people in total. It had a great impact on the earth's surface; by destroying it.
Haiti was very peacefully before the latest earthquake.
