Are you saying that people are asking for help in general or that the actual people stuck inside collapse buildings are using their socials in search of help?

What kind of infrastructure is in place that would survive to allow network connectivity for people to access socials to ask for help?

It's a common sight for one bulding to be standing virtually undamaged while the one next to it is a pile of rubble.

Infrastructure is fine.

At least enough of it is. I had no trouble calling people in the area minutes after it happened.

This one. On the previous large quake in the country, the networks collapsed and there was a huge public uproar because the network operators were claiming disaster readiness in their ads, even showing drone swarms flying to the disaster area to provide network services.

Maybe they actually hardened their networks but in general, the internet connectivity seems more resilient as the regular phone calling was restored much later than the internet connectivity last time.

This time there are many tweets and instagram stories of people posting text, selfies and videos from under the rubble, together with their address, their condition and the number of people in the house.

Here are a few examples:

Apparently mobile connectivity is intact in some places, but data is generally down. People are calling/texting their friends who in turn post it on social media:
