Do countries legislate shockwave standards in buildings like they do cyclones/hurricanes/etc?



I would imagine that people would think that's a serious waste of money given the odds. Of course after it happens, someone will go "See!!!".


No, but most anti-earthquake measures, especially in regard to glass falling from buildings, would seem applicable. So too with codes meant for safety during hurricanes, tornadoes and other strong winds.
