This week marked the one-year anniversary of the Haiti earthquake, while the first anniversary of the Chilean earthquake is coming up next month (Feb. 27, 2011).

The 7.0-magnitude Haiti earthquake resulted in 220,000 fatalities, and was the deadliest event in 2010. It was also the deadliest natural disaster since 1983, according to Munich Re.
