It depends on the exact nature of the specific emergency!

If someone has been injured then you should contact the ambulance service. If someone has been trapped then you will require the fire and rescue service and probably the ambulance service as well.

If the earthquake has caused damage to subterranean services such as gas lines, then fires and explosions may occur, in which case the fire and rescue service would again be required.

In some natural disasters civil disturbance and or looting may occur in which case you would require the police.

These are just a few of the huge number of potential scenarios but it should hopefully provide you with some idea as to who to contact (assuming you are able to contact anyone - the electricity and phone networks may be damaged in an earthquake).
