Building codes are very strong here. The 1964 Good Friday Earthquake
changed Alaska. All buildings and infrastructure have to withstand
some serious stuff without collapsing. The highrise buildings are all
on springs, rubber disks or have active sway control. All houses have
to be anchored to their foundations and strapped.

Creepy thing is that you can here the rumble before it hits.
