4: “Given the number of buildings destroyed, there were thousands of businesses and homes that did not meet specifications. Fortunately, thousands of lives were spared because people weren't at home and asleep when the earthquake rattled the land at 4:53 p.m. on January 12.” It then continues to speak about the importance good construction is and how much of an effect it will have in the economy if after every earthquake, they don’t have to make programs to reconstruct again.

Edwards, "Quake's Huge Range Help Chile Fare Better than Haiti."

A.3: It compares the more recent Chilean earthquake to Haiti’s. It proceeds to talk about the magnitude of both earthquakes and the factuality involved with exact position of the quakes.

“While the known death toll in yesterday's quake will almost certainly rise as the extent of the disaster unfolds, it may not exceed a few hundred, compared with about 200,000 people who were killed in Haiti.”

Robles, Tasker, Charles, "Haiti Plans Stricter Building Codes, Says there's no Need to Move Capital."

Many topics concerning the Haiti earthquake are spoken in this radio broadcast. Many of the consequences of this earthquake are talked about including “The issue of moving the capital even a few miles north is a touchy political question in a city that was destroyed -- and rebuilt -- after a previous earthquake in the 1700s, and one that may not find its answers for years to come. Voltaire said there has been debate among Haitians about moving the capital to St. Marc, or the Central Plateau.”

13: “A little more than a month later on Feb 12, an even larger quake - 8.8 magnitude - hit Chile and affected six regions spanning north to south of the country. However, the total damage amounted to less than half a percent of Haiti's. ‘The difference,’ said architectural and construction publications from around the world, was strict building codes. Chile's codes and regulations are considered among the best for countries located in earthquake regions. Haiti, in contrast, doesn't have any.” It talked about Chile’s success in being less affected when it came earthquakes than Haiti.

2: "Haiti has a world of problems. It had a world of problems before being decimated by last month's earthquake. And when its survivors are fed and their medical conditions treated, and when its dead are accounted for and buried, Haiti still will have a world of problems." It talks about one of the most important profitable products that haiti produces and how the earthquake along with the government make it harder for it to continue, therefore affecting the economy.
