Nothing. Earthquakes happen because of the way the Earth as a planet is stuck together, and there's really nothing us puny humans can do to influence that.

You should ask about the effect instead. With proper building regulations, and systems in place for advance warnings it is possible to make quakes less dangerous for humans.
