As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions and I have no way of knowing what is done in every specific case. However, some of the common ways that architects ensure building can withstand natural disasters are the following:
1. Researching the local climate and natural disasters, including their frequency, warning signs, and impacts.
2. Designing the structure to meet building codes and safety standards established by local, regional, and national governments.
3. Choosing materials and construction methods that can withstand the expected natural disasters, such as reinforced concrete or steel structures.
4. Incorporating features such as earthquake-resistant foundation systems, hurricane-proof windows and roofs, and sturdy fire-resistant materials.
5. Conducting stress tests to evaluate the building's resistance to environmental factors such as high wind, earthquakes, and flooding.
6. Designing evacuation plans and emergency shelters within the building for occupants in the event of a natural disaster.
Overall, architects ensure that the building is designed and built to withstand the expected natural disasters through careful research, planning, and use of appropriate materials and design features.
