Terrorism is a permanent low-level threat but pandemics and and floods are acute and have a reasonably well-defined end. The latter justify emergency powers specific to combating the issue at hand. Imminent invasions also justify emergency powers, but not overseas wars. My guess is that the pandemic will be completely under control before a year has passed.
