The article provides a definition of an earthquake and the causes of its occurrence, describes the types of seismic waves, which are divided into longitudinal and transverse. Three seismic intensity scales are compared, namely the modified Mercalli seismic scale, the 2017 seismic intensity scale, and the Japanese seismic scale. The following is a review of the negative impacts of earthquakes on the building, damage to various buildings in different countries as a result of an earthquake, the occurrence of such phenomena as landslides, soil liquefaction and rupture of the earth's crust, also as a result of an earthquake. The negative impact of earthquakes on the psyche and behavior of people, which causes panic, fear and seismophobia in humans, is considered. Further, it is proposed to use seismic isolation of buildings to reduce the negative impacts of earthquakes on people and buildings, using the example of the Great Mosque of Aleppo in Syria, which is an architectural monument and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The description of the seismicity of the territory of Syria and the city of Aleppo is given, the High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRB) proposed for use for seismic isolation of the mosque building are described. Formulas are given for calculating various parameters of such HDRB for their subsequent correct selection, depending on the forces acting on the building structures of the building. At the end, conclusions are drawn.
