• A. Disaster Assistance Center
• B. Emergency Family Assistance Center
• C. Family Support Center
• D. Casualty Response Office

Answer: (B)

When emergency assistance is ordered by the installation commander, it is provided through the Emergency Family Assistance Center. This on-base hub coordinates all aspects of family support during emergencies, bringing together counseling, information, referrals, financial help, housing and relocation assistance, child care, and liaison with the command to keep families informed and supported. The other centers have different purposes: a Disaster Assistance Center isn’t the on-base mechanism for family emergency support; a Family Support Center offers broad readiness and welfare programs but not the dedicated emergency family response; and a Casualty Response Office focuses on casualty reporting and specific casualty-related assistance rather than comprehensive emergency family services.
