What is a common way to make homes earthquake resistant?
There really isn't a way... but you should get emergency supplies such as canned food, a flashlight, and some blankets. You should get pillows too, to cover your head with in case a vase or something hard comes down on your head. You might want to consider going into a room with no windows with your supplies and cover your head there, but don't do something stupid like moving DURING the earthquake. You're Welcome.
