Not only is it important to find people that may be trapped under debris, buildings, etc., but earthquakes can disrupt water, sewer, and electrical service, as well as normal routes for food delivery and so forth.

Hospitals can only run on generators for so long, so restoring utilities has to start immediately after an earthquake, as well as digging for survivors.
