Unless the buildings are specifically made to earthquake proof standards which involves very specific reinforcement to make the building both strong and flexible, they are not earthquake proof.

In Israel every building built since 1990 has had to be earthquake proof and also include a missile proof safe room. This is done by building a series of extra reinforced concrete rooms on top of each other creating a extra strong and flexible backbone for the building.

A lot of people are fooled by appearance, I guess, and promises.

Lucky you. One less thing to worry about.
