Section 45 of the 1999 Constitution allows a state of emergency to be declared only if (i) war threatens the nation, or (ii) a grave internal disturbance endangers public order. The President may declare a state of emergency for a maximum of 30 days, renewable once. In a hypothetical situation a severe flood causes widespread displacement but no armed conflict.
