Not necessary because this is realised to a certain extent through safety standards. Certified earthquake proof. Done.

Earthquake certifications are just like other certifications, in that most of the process is not actually reviewed by any government agency. They check blueprints, sign off on the process, but they don't actually make sure that the ibeams are connected correctly and that the angles are just right. Done.
