They help by prising people out of small places and by putting out fires. Obviously hospitals help heal the wounded.
Emergency services in Kobe after the 1995 earthquake were overwhelmed initially due to the scale of the disaster. International assistance and military support were brought in to supplement local efforts, leading to improved coordination and response. Despite challenges, emergency workers and volunteers were able to rescue many survivors and provide medical care to those affected.
People living in earthquake prone areas can help each other by creating neighborhood emergency plans, participating in earthquake drills, ensuring buildings meet safety standards, and helping vulnerable community members prepare. Sharing information about earthquake safety and resources, such as emergency supplies and evacuation routes, can also minimize damages caused by an earthquake.
You can be warned about an earthquake through official alerts issued by government agencies and emergency services, such as through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) or the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). Additionally, seismic monitoring systems can detect seismic waves and data can be used to issue warnings in real-time. Earthquake early warning systems can also send alerts to smartphones and other devices before the stronger shaking arrives.
That would depend more on the type of injury rather than on the earthquake. The main difference is that after an earthquake, the possibility to get help is probably limited. Roads might not be passable. Hospitals might be full of injured people. So do the regular First Aid things, like you would if you got injured while out camping/hiking. Don't call emergency services or go to a hospital unless you really need qualified help. Compound/open fractures, big/deep cuts, particularly to hands, face, joints. Trouble breathing, internal injuries w/firm abdomen, sucking chest wounds, etc etc
An earthquake can be more dangerous at night because it may be harder to navigate and access emergency services in the dark. Additionally, power outages caused by earthquakes can leave people without electricity, making it difficult to communicate or receive help. The darkness can also increase fear and anxiety, amplifying the psychological impact of the earthquake.

Staying out of the way would be the biggest help of all.
The Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Lifeboats and Mountain Rescue are examples of Emergency services. They are the first responders to accidents and disasters and provide first line help.
The authorities were slow to respond with emergency and rescue help after the Kobe earthquake. Government leaders had to request help from the SDF and they were slow to contact them. The Japanese gangsters, the yakuza, were helping people the day after the earthquake by handing out food.
