The black box recorders on airplanes survive the fall from extreme heights, so technology can be designed to withstand violent earthquakes. However, as most technology is not so designed, protecting fragile parts from a pole shift jolt might be done using silicon jell. Many part are shipped in silicon jell, all within a sealed plastic bubble. Silicon jell also protects the parts from water damage or exposure to the air. Upon being opened, the silicon jell melts and evaporates, leaving no residue.
