Why is it important to build seismic safe buildings?

For many reasons. Earthquakes can take down entire buildings, but this is less likely if they are seismic safe. Non seismic safe buildings can be turned to rubble during an earthquake or can just simply become unsound. This can cause extreme financial problems and many inconveniences for the owner of the building, anyone who lives or works in it, anything surrounding it which may be damaged, etc. Yes, there's insurance, but insurance would be cheaper for seismic safe buildings and insurance won't pay employees who are out of work and can't cover everything. Aside from that people can obviously die in an earthquake if a building comes down on top of them. Plus some buildings are considered landmarks and are important to society and we don't want to be losing those buildings for other reasons as well.
