Interesting read. Seems like most of them are just sanctioned-based, not literal emergencies, like forest fires affecting people homes, etc.
i was born in 1979, so it checks out
Most of those listed as emergencies are now policy. They were emergent issues when they were legislated, but they should be removed from emergency status.
TIL the WW2 one ended in 1952. Description:
“Proclaiming That an Unlimited National Emergency Confronts This Country, Which Requires That Its Military, Naval, Air and Civilian Defenses Be Put on the Basis of Readiness to Repel Any and All Acts or Threats of Aggression Directed Toward Any Part of the Western Hemisphere”
Can any historians tell us why it took another 7 years?
The one in OPs post is Iran: “Blocking Iranian Government Property”
