As it has office=government as the primary tag then government=emergency 
I'd think that further stating government would be redundant ... but it 
is OSM so a repeat for the third time may be necessary.

However in another email you state

"some centres are not governmental (e.g. in Switzerland, mountain rescue 
is assigned to private companies such as Air Glacier)"

So the tag may also be applicable to non government offices???


I did a quick look and someone has used it for a call centre - 
999/911/000/112 kind of thing. I think that is appropriate.
