In general, underground structures are safer than structures above ground due to inertial forces.
Also, the primary reason for going underground on Mars is to try and protect against radiation. While solutions for surface level structures have been proposed to try and mitigate this problem, the costs and level of efforts associated with them make us lean more towards underground being the preferred approach initially.
But this data should be very valuable for teams to figure out where exactly to build. Most epicenters of these marsquakes occur in one general region.

I don’t think so, I’m my opinion.
