Wood. It will flex.
Houses made from bamboo are very good at resisting earthquakes due to its lightweight and favorable elastic properties. Bamboo possesses excellent strength properties, especially tensile strength and much more flexible than hard wood and concrete materials.
Some reasons why the damage from the earthquake was severe could include the earthquake's magnitude and depth, the proximity of populated areas to the epicenter, the quality of building construction in the region, and the local geological conditions that amplify seismic waves.
The answer depends on the material, size, strength, length of the poles, bury depth, the bracing, AND the method and hardware used to secure the bracing and structure above to the pole assembly.
If there was a 6.3 earthquake, some young trees would be uprooted. Houses would collapse. Pavement would be cracked into bits of rock. Most people would be left homeless.
So as to avoid them. So as to make building regulations requiring buildings to be earthquake proof. So as to know where emergency resources ma need to be deployed.

The number of houses destroyed in an earthquake can vary greatly depending on the magnitude of the earthquake, the location, and the structures' resistance to seismic activity. In general, earthquakes can lead to the destruction of thousands of houses in heavily affected areas.
Concrete is generally considered safe for building structures in earthquake-prone areas due to its strength and durability. However, proper design and construction techniques, such as reinforcement with steel bars, are necessary to ensure the structure can withstand the forces of an earthquake.

False
The first earthquake-proof building, known as the 'Torre Latinoamericana', was built in Mexico City in 1956. It has since withstood several earthquakes and serves as a model for earthquake-resistant design in high-risk areas.
A seismic hazard map is used to identify potential earthquake areas. This map shows the likelihood of earthquake occurrences in specific regions based on geological data and historical earthquake activity. It helps authorities and planners in implementing necessary safety measures and building codes in high-risk areas.

In some areas, there were few trees to use for building.

An earthquake can cause damage such as collapsed buildings, cracked roads, landslides, and tsunamis. The severity of the damage depends on factors like the magnitude of the earthquake, the depth of the earthquake's focus, and the proximity of the epicenter to populated areas.
