Innovative Foundation May Help Buildings Hover During an Earthquake

Is this practical or lot of hot air?
Quote: A combination of the U.S. Geological Survey’s ShakeAlert system, a magnetic-field architecture and a three-part building foundation system may enable buildings to hover above the ground during an earthquake using electromagnetic fields. The technology could keep the building and what is inside from sliding around during destructive shaking. Endquote
