Haiti - FLASH : Seismic activities of unidentified origin in the Central Plateau
While geologists previously believed that the Central Plateau was not traversed by seismic faults (the archives do not report any activity in the region), several shakes of low intensity in the last 2 years have been recorded by the Haitian seismic monitoring network https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23741-haiti-security-strengthening-of-the-seismic-monitoring-network.html confirm the existence of such an activity in this region considered until now as the safest region of the country https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22015-haiti-security-an-unknown-seismic-fault-under-the-central-plateau.html https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-21992-haiti-flash-earthquake-of-43-in-the-central-plateau.html

Recall that the last quake of magnitude 3.1 on the open scale of Richter, whose epicenter was located 7 kilometers north of Belladères and 16 kilometers north-east of Lascahobas, is Monday, May 7. It is its shallow depth (less 1.5 km) that makes it felt by the population https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-24328-haiti-news-zapping.html without causing any damage, explained the Engineer-Geologist Claude Prepetit, Director of the Office of Mines and Energy (BME).

However, he specifies that the data available to the Center do not allow for the moment to link this activity in the Central Plateau to major faults known in the country, or to know if this activity can cause a strong earthquake, without continuing further studies.

Recall that the very high risk areas in Haiti are the South, the Nippes and the Great North.
