If the quake has caused extensive damage emergency services will be "strapped" initially. Other victims may rely heavily on the assistance of good samaritans. If you´re up for it, grab one of your first aid kits to help any other injured or trapped victims. Calling for help doesn´t hurt, but obviously there will more than likely be a long delay in the normal response times, which is usually 8 - 10 minutes.
