Family Assistance Centers

Family assistance is one of the most sensitive and complex operations in mass fatality response.  The need for multiagency coordination in plan development is further underscored as multiple agencies fold under the response umbrella and begin to leverage the services provided via Family Assistance Centers.  C&A understands the multifaceted nature of Family Assistance Centers.  We have developed award-winning and nationally recognized Family Assistance Center resources.  We have facilitated Family Assistance Center plan development sessions, hosted Family Assistance Center workshops, and designed Family Assistance Center demonstrations.  Our consultants have collaborated with a number of agencies and organizations – from mental health to airports to traditional first responders – to develop best practices in Family Assistance Center planning that are rooted in local emergency management practices.
