Overall, the population in this region resides in structures that are vulnerable to earthquake shaking,
though some resistant structures exist. On June 24, 1984 (UTC), a magnitude 6.7 earthquake 329 km
East of this one struck the Dominican Republic, with estimated population exposures of 320,000 at
intensity VII and 2,964,000 at intensity VI, resulting in 5 reported fatalities. Recent earthquakes in this
area have caused landslides that may have contributed to losses.
