On Friday March 15, 2020, President Trump declared a national emergency due to corona virus, since then 50 states have followed suit. According to https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=463236 referring to executive order 12148, the responsibilities of the president in the state of an emergency are now delegated to the director of FEMA, being overwatched by the national security council and military https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/executive-order/12148.html who has the ability to act according to the stipulations in executive order 11921 https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/eo/eo-11921.htm, giving them control over many civilian rights and other things.
A state of emergency declaration can be as narrow or wide as the president decides. It could be a whole state like FL or TX, or it could be as narrow as an area in the path of a tornado. President Trump would never have compromised in a manner that might give the enemy an advantage.
