We saw this news story today and wanted to pass it along.
Note that it is impossible to 100% predict earthquakes, but better safe than sorry.

Excerpts:
A US seismic expert has urged Jamaica to start long-term efforts to prepare for another major earthquake on the island, where the seaside capital was mostly destroyed by a huge tremor just over a century ago.
...
His call is especially sobering because in March 2008 he was among a group of scientists who warned officials in Haiti that their country was ripe for a major earthquake after detecting worrisome signs of growing stresses in a fault.
...
It is impossible for scientists to determine if the next big quake will hit in days or decades
