A "State of Emergency" is a situation declared by a government when there is a significant threat to public safety or national security. This can occur due to natural disasters, civil unrest, or other crises. During this time, the government may implement special measures, such as curfews or restrictions on movement, to maintain order and protect citizens. In a State of Emergency, certain rights may be temporarily suspended to allow for quicker responses to the crisis. This can include limitations on freedom of assembly or freedom of speech. The declaration is often intended to restore stability and ensure the safety of the population.
