There is nothing humanly possible that can be done to prevent an earthquake anywhere. The loss of life and damage can be reduced to some degree by improving construction and emergence readiness.

The construction of oil and natural gas pipelines throughout the wilderness has caused considerable property damage to the world lemur habitat.
A lot of damage
Earthquakes can cause significant damage to property. The shaking and ground displacement during an earthquake can result in structural damage to buildings, cracking of walls and foundations, and collapse of structures. Additionally, earthquakes can trigger landslides and tsunamis, which can cause further destruction to properties in affected areas.
Most building are of bricks and bricks are easily collapsed, unlike wood or steel

People can limit tornado damage by building home to higher construction standards.
Depending on the quality and and type of construction of the bridge or building and the intensity of the tornado, structures can suffer varying degrees of damage. Damage may range from minor, superficial damage, to complete destruction.

The purpose of seawall construction is to improve properties near water by preventing the water from eroding or flooding the land near the property. Erosion and flooding can do serious damage to the property and can cause problems for building built near water.

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was destroyed by a series of earthquakes in the medieval period, leading to its eventual ruin. Additional damage was inflicted by various conquerors who repurposed its stone for other construction projects. The ruins of the Mausoleum were eventually quarried for building materials, contributing to its disappearance over time.
In Pennsylvania, the condemned houses are supposed to be demolished and the area cleared or a new building rebuilt. They are as a result of structural damage or poor construction.

Earthquakes can cause several types of damage. Some of the major damage they can cause are collapsed building, sinkholes, tsunamis, and loss of life.
Most of the damage done by hurricanes or earthquakes could have been avoided by building structures to withstand such forces. That is why you see so much more damage and destruction when one of these disasters hits a poor part of the world vs america. Most of the time we can build our structures to survive cause we have the money but places like China and Burma (Myanmar) can't and you saw what happened then.
