Read a random definition: New York Supplement

A quick definition of emergency exception:

An emergency exception is a legal principle that allows a person to act instinctively to meet a sudden and urgent need for aid without being held to the ordinary standard of reasonable care. This principle also applies to medical treatment in dire situations when neither the patient nor a responsible party can consent, but a reasonable person would do so. Additionally, police officers may conduct a search without a warrant if they have probable cause and reasonably believe that immediate action is needed to protect life or property. This principle is also known as the emergency doctrine or emergency-treatment doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

An emergency exception is a legal principle that allows for certain actions to be taken in emergency situations where immediate action is necessary to protect life or property. There are different types of emergency exceptions:

The Imminent-Peril Doctrine is a legal principle that exempts a person from the ordinary standard of reasonable care if that person acted instinctively to meet a sudden and urgent need for aid. For example, if someone sees a child drowning in a pool and jumps in to save them without thinking, they may be exempt from liability for any injuries that occur during the rescue.

The Emergency-Treatment Doctrine is a legal principle that allows for medical treatment to be given in a dire situation when neither the patient nor a responsible party can consent, but a reasonable person would do so. For example, if someone is brought to the emergency room unconscious and in critical condition, doctors may perform life-saving procedures without waiting for consent from the patient or their family.

The Emergency Exception for Police Officers is a legal principle that allows for a search to be conducted without a warrant if the officer has probable cause and reasonably believes that immediate action is needed to protect life or property. For example, if a police officer sees someone breaking into a house and hears screams coming from inside, they may enter the house without a warrant to stop the perpetrator and protect the people inside.

Overall, emergency exceptions are designed to allow for quick action in situations where time is of the essence and lives or property are at risk.
