Besides raising questions about whether a national emergency declaration can facilitate the construction of such barriers (a topic discussed in a related Sidebar), the declaration has also prompted more general interest in the National Emergencies Act, including in other emergencies declared under the Act that are currently in effect.

The Table also lists statutory authorities cited to support the initial Executive Order or Presidential Proclamation, along with statutory authorities expressly cited in those documents as the legal basis for actions taken in response to the declared emergency. Finally, the Table identifies the date when the declared emergency was last extended or, if it has not been extended, the date when it is currently set to expire.."

National Emergency Communications Plan
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released today the National Emergency Communications Plan (NECP) to address gaps and determine solutions so that emergency response personnel at all levels of government and across all disciplines can communicate as needed, on demand, and as authorized. The NECP is the nation's first strategic plan to improve emergency response communications, and complements overarching homeland security and emergency communications legislation, strategies and initiatives."
