List of populated places affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake information
This is a list of populated places and structures affected by the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake that occurred on 12 January 2010, with an epicentre approximately 25 km (16 mi) west of Port-au-Prince, Haiti,[1]
and affected an estimated three million people.[2]
The Haitian government estimated that 230,000 people died,[3]
300,000 were injured and 1,000,000 made homeless by the quake.[4]
The earthquake caused extensive damage to infrastructure in southwestern Haiti—in February, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive estimated that 250,000 residences and 30,000 commercial buildings had collapsed or were severely damaged.[5]
The deputy mayor of Léogâne, at the epicentre of the earthquake,[6] reported that 90 percent of buildings in the city were destroyed and Léogâne had "to be totally rebuilt."[7] As much as 90 percent of Grand-Goâve was devastated, including all public buildings.[8][9] In Gressier, 40–50 percent of buildings were destroyed; the same in the worst-affected areas of Carrefour.[10] Jacmel, the capital of Sud-Est department, also was heavily affected; 70 percent of homes in the city were damaged according to the mayor of Jacmel,[11] as well as the airport, hospital and city hall building.[12][13]
Many landmark buildings were damaged or destroyed, including the Presidential Palace,[14] the National Assembly building (Palais Législatif), the Supreme Court building (Palais de Justice)[15] and the Holy Trinity and Port-au-Prince Cathedrals.[15] Port-au-Prince's main port and airport, the Port international de Port-au-Prince and Toussaint Louverture International Airport also suffered severe damage,[16][17] as did Killick, the Haitian Coast Guard's base in the capital city.[18] The Ciné Institute, Haiti's only film school, "lost two buildings".[19]
