emergency=control_centre for the place where disaster / emergency responses are controlled / co-ordinated from e.g. https://kedrontoday.com.au/sdcc-at-kedron-to-get-funding-boost-from-2022-23-fire-and-emergency-services-budget/ or https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/63985402 / https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coastguard_radar_station,_Dover_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1417531.jpg emergency=administration is the downtown office block where public servants sit & make decisions that affect the people who do the actual work, so that would also have the office=government + government=emergency tags included on it. Which separates them both from the actual rescue / emergency stations which house equipment & the people that use it.
