Hait ({{lang-tg|Ҳоит}}), a region in Tajikistan, a strategic, land-locked mountainous country in Central Asia, is the site of one of the world's worst earthquakes last century.

Earthquake catastrophe

{{main|1949 Khait earthquake|Khait landslide}}

In 1949 one of the three largest earthquakes of the 20th century, struck Tajikistan at Hait. The Hait catastrophe belongs to the category of the largest earthquakes occurring last century.[1][2]

According to the Global Seismic Hazard Map (GSHAP 1999), the whole country is located in the high to very high risk zone with a history of catastrophic and deadly earthquakes. About 28,000 to 29,000 people are estimated to have died in the quake which destroyed 150 villages.[3]

Geography

The region where the quake took place encompasses where the Surkhob valley at an altitude of 1,200-2,100 metres and the Obikhingow valley to the south of it at 1,200 to 3,200 metres come close together in a seismic region. The Obikhingow valley lies between the ranges of Peter 1 and Parvaz.[4]
