National Emergency

A National Emergency is a situation where a country faces a significant threat to its safety, security, or functioning, such as a natural disaster, war, or public health crisis. During such times, the government may declare a National Emergency to gain special powers to respond quickly and effectively. This can include reallocating resources, implementing new laws, or restricting certain rights to ensure public safety. The declaration usually allows for an expedited response to urgent threats, aiming to stabilize the situation and protect citizens. Balancing urgency with civil liberties is often a critical concern in these scenarios.
