How can utilities be made safer to avoid damage during and after earthquakes?

Often much of the damage during earthquakes comes from fires and flooding caused by damaged utilities. Gas pipes or water mains can be broken during the earthquakes. Flexible joints in the lines can protect them from breakage and automatic shut-off valves can be used to stop gas and water flow.
