- On January 20, A 5.9 aftershock struck Haiti. The strongest tremor since the Jan. 12 quake struck at 6:03 a.m., just before sunrise while many still slept. It forced more earthquake survivors onto the capital's streets to live and sent others fleeing to the countryside, where aid was only beginning to reach wrecked towns.

- On January 19, A 5.8 earthquake struck the Cayman Islands, days after earthquakes in Haiti.
- On January 18, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake hit Guatemala and parts of El Salvador. There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
- On January 17, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake happened upon the Drake Passage off the coast of the Argentine Republic. There was no hard damage as the earthquake that struck was rather far away from the land area itself.
- On January 16, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Venezuela, which lies on the very same Caribbean tectonic plot as Haiti. The quake has been reported to cause power failure, yet there were no damages or deaths.
