In the state of California, you are only mandated to tell if you are one of the following: minister, teacher, school guidance counselor, doctor, nurse, EMS, law enforcement, firefighter or therapist.
You should encourage her to talk to one of the above or call
1-888-649-6905.
You have no reasonable expectation of gathering this girl's information. If you collect this information at registration, you can forward it to her local police/sheriff department so they can follow up but if you do not then she probably isn't going to give it to you anyway. If you can track her to living on base via IP, then you can forward her information to the commanding officer.
