Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks
What happened
On September 8, 2026, the President signed a notice continuing the national emergency first declared on September 14, 2001. This action extends the emergency for 1 year beyond September 14, 2026, due to the continuing terrorist threat. The notice was published in the Federal Register on September 10, 2026, and transmitted to Congress.
Why it matters
This continuation means that the powers and authorities established to address the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks will remain in effect for an additional year. It reflects an ongoing assessment by the government that the threat of terrorist attacks on the United States persists.
