Haiti observed daylight saving time in 2012 only, in a desperate attempt to get a handle on their energy costs. It was a one-time thing that they are not expected to repeat. Update: Haiti now observes Daylight Saving Time every year. They change their clocks at exactly the same times as the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Eastern time zones of the United States and Canada.
If you are in Haiti, which is in the Eastern Standard Time (EST) time zone, the time would be the same as Eastern Standard Time in the USA.
During 2012 there was no time difference between Boston and Haiti. However, Haiti is not expected to observe Daylight Saving Time after 2012. There will still be no time difference from the 1st Sunday of November to the 2nd Sunday of March, but when Boston is on Daylight Saving Time it will be one hour ahead of Haiti.
The Haiti earthquake occurred on January 12, 2010 at approximately 4:53 PM local time.
