There are some buildings that are claimed to be earthquake proof...or resistant. But for the most part...residential construction is not.
And I don't think there is anything they can do about the ground turning to jello and sliding into the inlet.

It's less a matter of the earthquake shaking the structure, than it is the earth swallowing the structure. A building can be built to take some shaking, it's when things just sink or slide away that can't be built for. The solution to that is to not build there in those real unstable areas. Too late now though with Anchorage...
