Seismic Bulletin of Haiti, April 2026
Summary: Monthly bulletin of the BME Technical Seismology Unit on the 44 earthquakes recorded in Haiti in April 2026, with magnitudes, depths and distribution by department.
Key Findings
- 44 earthquakes of magnitude 0.8 to 4.0 were recorded in Haiti in April 2026.
- 41 of them (~93%) had a magnitude of 3 or less, and 22 (50%) a depth of 10 km or less.
- 25 earthquakes (~57%) occurred at sea.
- The 3 most affected departments were Nord-Ouest with 12 earthquakes (~27%), Ouest with 8 (~18%) and Sud-Est with 6 (~14%).
- The unit describes the month as weak to moderate seismicity and says the events showed no major danger, while the large share at sea justifies continued seismic monitoring and risk prevention.
Full Description
