How do they know how many people died so soon after a major disaster?

In Turkey and Syria now they’re saying 1,800 people died already. Is it as simple as counting the bodies and reporting that?

The first hours of the Fukushima earthquake (2011) news were reporting 17 death, because those were the ones they could count from a sports center falling over people there or something like.

They were reporting 17 deaths and the 8.9 or 9.0 Richter earthquake simultaneously making it obvious nobody in the news centre had a fucking clue what they were talking about as even in a country as prepared as Japan the death toll of such magnitude would had to be counted by the thousands at least.
