The military comes in and is given almost unlimited latitude to enforce the law. The Bill of Rights is suspended. About anything you can imagine becomes fair game to keep order. Confiscation of arms, search and siezure without warrants, travel restrictions, enforced quarantine zones, etc.

Why did this get downvoted?

It’s true. Literally it’s reserved for when the SHTF, and it means the law says whatever the CinC of the troops wants it to say.

It’s only for dire circumstances.

And if they didn’t call it for Katrina, they won’t call for it here. It simply won’t get that bad.
