"In the ___ of an emergency . . ." (5)

I believe the answer is:

event

(Other definitions for event that I've seen before include "A notable occurrence or happening" , "Race contest; occasion" , "ride competitively" , "Item in sports programme" , "Meeting" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
