One thing we do right in the country is build strong buildings. Papers are reporting a couple of fires, some crumbled brick on old buildings, and 3 serious injuries. In places like Turkey or Afghanistan, a magnitude 6 quake would have thousands of people buried under the rubble of crumbled apartment buildings and houses. Seismic codes are expensive, but in places with lots of quakes, they're worth it.
