This quake happened at 4AM. Most people probably had phones on bedstand or charging stations rather on person. I suspect most people knew where their neighbors were at this time which may have aided searches. Pretty much didnt need to bother with any public buildings. P.S. I was in the 4AM 1994 Los Angeles quake. Night quakes have a little different psychology than day quakes.
