No building is seismic safe. No building is earthquake proof. However, there are steps that can be taken to make buildings more earthquake resistant. Concrete buildings made without rebar will collapse in an earthquake. Concrete buildings and concrete block buildings in Guatemala that hold up in earthquakes are those that use a lot of rebar. It is also important to use metal straps to tie the roof to the walls. The straps are inexpensive, but they maintain the integrity of the building. The roof should have cross pieces.
Buildings constructed to withstand most earthquakes
A type of building made to be resistant to vibrations during an earthquake.
A structure made to be resistant to vibrations during an earthqake..
It is important to build seismic safe buildings because earthquakes can cause significant damage, loss of life, and economic hardship. Seismic safe buildings are designed to withstand the ground shaking and forces generated by earthquakes, reducing the risk of collapse and ensuring the safety of the occupants. Building codes and guidelines for seismic design help to protect communities from the devastating consequences of earthquakes.
No ! They try hard to make them safe, but they are inherently unsafe.

also known as seismic or base isolation system.
A seismic safe building is a building that can stand up against earthquake vibrations. Two things that would help a building become seismic safe are: (not added yet)

seismic-safe or "earthquake proof"
seismic-safe it is cosidered to be "earthquake proof".

Fixed-base building
Seismic dampers are devices used in building construction to protect the buildings against earthquake and other seismic events.
Fixed-base buildings absorb the energy of Seismic Waves.

it will not break it will just stand because it is build to be strong.
