hello everybody

!!!!
I'd like you to help me

with the following sentence:
Call me_____________ there's an emergency.
a. in the case
b. provided
The teacher's book gives (a) as the correct answer. Is (a) possible?? provided does not seem appropriate to me.However, i thought there is no such expression like
in the case .I've seen it only followed by
of (e.g.in the case of emergency).

Then i thought that it may be a printer's error.Now i'm confused!
Thank you so much for your help.!!!

bye!!
