state of emergency
Explanation:
pytający ma słuszne wątpliwości - u nich wprowadza się 'state of emergency' - w znaczeniu politycznym jest to stan wyjątkowy, ale w znaczeniu związanym z anomaliami przyrodniczymi jest to stan zagrożenia lub stan klęski żywiołowej
PWN / Ox (emergency):
(to declare) a state of emergency Pol (ogłosić) stan wyjątkowy; (of natural disaster) (ogłosić) stan zagrożenia or klęski żywiołowej

stąd śmialo można powiedzieć declared a state of emergency due to flooding

wyguglowanie
"state of emergency" flooding site:co.uk

"state of emergency" flood site:co.uk - ok. 4 tys. trafień

natural disaster declared


Explanation:
Zdecydowanie nie polecałabym użycia 'state'. W BrE można najczęściej spotkać takie sformułowania: 'sth. declared a natural disaster' lub 'natural disaster declared in...' po prostu i już w tych zwrotach zawarty jest ten nieszczęsny 'stan' :)
