The Haiti earthquake devastated the public system and facilities of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Foreign governments, humanitarian organizations, and individuals around the world donated money or pledged future aid. The earthquake happened at 4:53 p.m. local time on Jan. 12, 2010. Some survivors waited many days without food, water, or medical treatment. Many of buildings were damaged because of bad construction or designs that were not earthquake-resistant. The United States Geological Survey-a government agency that studies nature, including natural disasters-estimate that the quake had a magnitude of 7. Magnitude is a measurement of earthquake strength based on ground motion.

play a role in the lomg-

their country. Many survivors moved to

smaller communities in

northern Haiti. Some Haitians with the

resources to do so or with personal

connections abroad

resettled on neighboring

Caribbean islands and in

the United States.
