EMERGENCY POWERS ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1926 - SECT 1 



1. If at any time it appears to the Governor of Northern Ireland that [there
have occurred, or are about to occur, (whether in Northern Ireland or
elsewhere) events of such a nature] as to be calculated, by interfering with
the supply and distribution of food, water, fuel, or light, or with the means
of locomotion, to deprive the community in Northern Ireland, or any
substantial portion of that community, of the essentials of life, the said
Governor may, by proclamation (in this Act referred to as a proclamation of
emergency), declare that a state of emergency exists.

A proclamation of emergency shall continue in force until revoked by the said
Governor.
