What is the Tectonic setting of Haiti?

Lots of different plate boundaries around Haiti

Enriquillo–Plantain Garden fault zone is very close to capital “Port-au-Prince“

Also at risk from nearby subduction zone earthquakes because the earthquakes can happen at any point on the subducted plate meaning the epicentre can be very near to Haiti.
