3. This report is 6 pages - too large to copy & paste here

There are 58 entries, and most have to do with actions in the Middle East, Asia and parts of the former Soviet Union. I must admit that I'm surprised, because I thought it would mostly be about hurricanes, tornadoes and large storms hitting US lands. (There's none of that.) A little more than half of the national emergencies listed are still in effect - they're basically ongoing for up to 40 years.

4. None of them sound at all similar

What is this one to be called? Stealing funds to build a border wall with Mexico?
