How are the Chileans better off than the Haitians in their recent earthquakes?

Asked by EgaoNoGenki (1164points) March 1st, 2010

Chile’s was 8.8; Haitan’s was “just” a 7.0.

However, Chile’s death toll is (thus far) in the 720s, while Haiti’s is 220,000+.

How did Chile get to fare far better in their earthquake than Haiti did?
