Insurance.

Stop collecting or make a sacrificial offering to your hedonistic gods! That'll appease them.

bubble wrap them and display them under the table.

When the earthquake happens, you have to grab the detolf, and move with the shaking in a way so that the detolf actually never moves. Problem solved.

Talk to your insurance agent. Provide pictures, company make them, edition numbers and how much it cost.

A lot of our California collectors swear by Earthquake Putty; here is just one example product...

According to the web site (and many collectors) it is removable, doesn't harm paint, etc. but you might want to get the Cali collectors to weigh in on the subject and give you the recommendations for the best one to use.

Those are for small EQ.If I was him I would display my collection outdoors on top of a grassy field.If an EQ hits the status would suffer minimum damage,if any damage al all.

Anchor your besta shelves on the wall. Much easier that way. Or just get an insurance if you're filthy rich.
