New Zealand building code took a lot of lessons from the Christchurch earthquakes, but one of the simplest ones that struck me was to do with basic pole foundations, which we use a lot. Previously, you dig your hole, stick your poles in, and concrete up to ground level. Now, you only concrete up halfway and fill the rest with gravel or scoria. This lets the whole house wobble a lot more and the poles absorb the movement. Simple neat and cheap solution, unlike say that changes around the use of brick, which now require a ton more reinforcement after whole facades or chimneys collapsing killed people. (Admittedly older heritage buildings, but still)

Drone footage of the Christchurch earthquake "red zone". All this used to be suburbia until liquefaction killed it. Slightly different geological conditions in that it's mostly where the river has meandered back and forth over the plain for eons, so mostly sand and silt, but dramatic none the less. All told some 8000 homes bought out and destroyed. Well, demolished and cleared, they were already effectively destroyed. Close, shallow, 10 second 6.2 that killed 185. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_CA0Wl0Q5M
