The following table lists reported earthquakes that have been felt near the Enriquillo Fault System. The columns of data indicate the known date, latitude, longitude, earthquake magnitude and source of information with maximum Magnitude Moment Intensity (MMI). An "NA" is used in the table to indicate that information is not available. Unless written out, the following are town abbreviations used in this table: Cap Haitien (CH), Croix de Bouquets (CB), Gonaives (G), Grand Goave (GG), Jacmel (J), Leogane (LG), Les Cayes (LC), Petit Goave (PG), and Port-au-Prince(PaP). References are listed on the main page.
