No. GPS accuracy is in the satellites it uses that orbit about 11,000 miles above Earth.

There are super ground stations that keep all the satellites precise, but if they move due to an earthquake, any one of them can be recalibrated. Of course, the system of ground stations are located in areas with few earthquakes, to begin with.
