lets give you 5:
firstly, you can put cross braces on all around the building. Cross braces are metal supports that allow the building to twist and sway when there are seismic waves.
The second way to protect a building against buildings is by having rubber shock absorbers in the foundations of the building. They absorb the tremors from the earthquake, preventing it from collapsing.
Another way is by having a big box of concrete at the top of the building which is controlled by a computer. It slides to the other direction of the earthquake force, preventing to from collapsing. An example of using this method is the Taipei 101:
If you install automating shutters in your building, you would save lots of people from being injured or even dying. This is because when the glass from the windows breaks, they could fall on people. The automatic shutters go over the windows, prevent the glass from flying everywhere.
Also, if you have an open space, it can be a safe area for people to come when evacuated. These are also known as assembly points.

What are 3 methods of improving a buildings safety before an earthquake?
Retrofitting structural elements such as walls and foundations to make them more resistant to seismic forces. Installing automatic gas and electricity shut-off valves to reduce the risk of fires after an earthquake. Securing heavy furniture and objects to walls to prevent them from tipping over during shaking.
How did the Japanese protect big buildings from earthquakes?
Japanese engineers use a variety of seismic-resistant techniques to protect buildings from earthquakes, such as base isolation systems, damping devices, and flexible structural designs. These methods help absorb and dissipate seismic forces, reducing the impact of the earthquake on the building. Additionally, strict building codes in Japan require structures to meet high standards of earthquake resistance.
When did Japan earthquake happen before or after the tsunami?
The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.
What is due after an earthquake?
After an earthquake, it is important to check for injuries and provide first aid if needed. Secure any immediate hazards like fires or gas leaks, and then assess the structural integrity of buildings before re-entering them. Stay informed about aftershocks and follow emergency instructions from local authorities.
Why did the Haiti Earthquake have such an impact?
First off, it was a huge earthquake -- 7.0 magnitude. An earthquake of that size in any country will cause severe damage to buildings. Before the earthquake hit, Haiti was already an impoverished nation with buildings not able to withstand huge earthquakes. Without proper construction, the buildings were bound to collapse and kill thousands. In addition, Haiti is on an isolated island which makes getting supplies there very difficult, adding to the tragedy. All four of these reasons exacerbated the situation: 1. Size of the earthquake 2. Poor infrastructure 3. Isolation 4. Poverty It killed approximately 200,000 people, and left 1 million people homeless.

Is Haiti lucky?
Absolutely NOT!!!! Haiti was a very poor country BEFORE the earthquake, and because of that the buildings were not earthquake proof, so thousands of people have died and the people don't have anything to eat/drink (not to mention they have no homes).

What was Haiti liked before the Earthquake?
Haiti was very peacefully before the latest earthquake.
When was Before the Buildings Fell created?
Before the Buildings Fell was created in 1986.
Why is there only a short amount of time to evacuate before an earthquake?
During an earthquake, buildings can collapse, roads can be damaged, and debris can block escape routes, making it dangerous to stay in the area. Evacuating quickly ensures people have the best chance of getting to safety before these hazards become unpassable.
What is Christchurch known for?
Christchurch was known to have large number of heritage buildings than other cities in New Zealand like Auckland and Wellington before September 4, 2010 earthquake
When did Japan earthquake happen before or after the tsunami?
The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.
Why is planning so important when it comes to construction of giant buildings?
Planning is very important when it comes to construction of giant buildings because the structure and stability of the building must be mapped out before it is built. Depending on the circumstances, such as earthquake or flood susceptibility, different blueprints are necessary.
How did the people die from the earthquake in Haiti?
It was a strong earth quake and the structures of the buildings in Haiti are generally poor. Mixing this with overpopulation which cramps many people together caused many to die.Hatit is also a very poor country with no money to get earthquakes precations.They could not afford help and it took weeks before the goverment kicked in and lent a hand.
