Japanese earthquake proof tech

Japan has always(every day) earthquake whether people feel or not and has had numerous huge earthquakes. Japan also welcomes many big typhoons. The country is full of natural disasters.

Thus everything from the houses, buildings, train subway system to the power plant in this country is made more or less earthquake-proof.

The troubled nuclear power plant(made in 1970 with GE) was also earthquake proof. But the tsunami(said to be 10-20m high in some regions!) was something out of expectation and its safety systems were severely damaged by this tsunami.

a bad feeling is that about these earthquake incidents in japan (as it already started in NZ) may extend to other countries. It is reasonable to think that the earthquake does not really choose to stay in the Japan national boarder. It is happening on the boarder-less earth.

Japan has these anti earthquake building/train etc. and the damage was this big. Then what will happen in other countries where they have not been prepared for this natural disasters.

Friends outside of Japan, please learn from Japan and prepare good.
