What does the Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC) provide during a crisis?

  • Family Information Call Center (FICC): A 24/7 information and referral telephone line will be established for military family members during a crisis.
  • Emergency Family Assistance Center (EFAC): A one-stop-shop for legal services, resources, and information.
  • Mobile Outreach Teams (MOTs): FFSC deploys staff to all areas where needed.
  • Navy Family Accountability & Assessment System (NFAAS): FFSC Case Managers respond to NFAAS assessments completed by Sailors, DoD civilians, and their families. Case management is provided until all crisis-related resources are resolved.
