Are the buildings here especially flats earthquake proof? I do hope that in this part of the world where this seldom happens they consider it.

We were taking late dinner experienced the earthquake at our sixth floor dwelling. The building swayed for few seconds & distinct sounds were noted as type of slowly diminishing pendulum movement.
