When did Seattle structural code begin to require buildings be designed to withstand a megaquake, if ever? Without an early warning system, what is the best thing for someone to do if they're living or working in a structure that is not likely designed to stand-up in the Really Big One and they feel the first pulse?

What can residents do in support of city/state/federal implementation of northwest earthquake preparedness measures (i.e., implement an early warning system, retrofit infrastructure to withstand such a quake ASAP)? Write to legislators? Anything else we can do?
