The reason why a lot of California homes are built with lumber is that more fire resistant materials like bricks and cement collapse during earthquakes.

Other earthquake regions in the world build their houses with concrete and cement as well. It‘s possible.

However, structures that are resistant against fire and earthquake might be costly.
