This topic is way beyond this list, since it gets into structural
engineering. If you really want to do this right, you will need the
services of a good structural engineer. Anyways, the basic process is
pick a good solid location (i.e. it wouldn't do any good to have your
building stay intact while it sinks into the ground), get redundancies
for utilities if required, make sure the building is as earthquake
proof as required, and make sure that ALL equipment is bolted into
racks which are in turn bolted to concrete floors with shock mounts.
If you want an example of a company that has taken this idea to an
extreme, check out http://www.infosure.com/ , which is a company that is
located in Victoria, B.C., which is at the northern end of the San Andreas
faultline, the same one that California is on.
