The earthquake caused extensive damage in Puerto Plata, as well as in the regional capitol of Santiago, located 30 km south of the coast (Figures 1 and 2). A large (Mw 5.6) aftershock occurred about one hour after the mainshock, and felt aftershocks continued for more than a month. The large north-south extent of the aftershock zone, the mainshock focal mechanism, and geologic evidence for an active fold-thrust belt offshore of Hispaniola...
