If there's a country used to earthquakes I'd guess it is Taiwan. Even though that building collapsed they've still managed to get many people out alive.
Last time I was in Taiwan I spent a couple of days in Tainan and really enjoyed it. Hopefully they'll be able to get back on their feet soon.
Also visited the 921 earthquake museum which was fascinating. They left the school in its collapsed state and even have an earthquake simulator inside the museum so you can feel what the quake felt like. And there are other buildings in the area that were not removed, one is a pretty famous temple. I can't recall its name but shot a lot photos.
