Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'emergency' (a sudden incident requiring immediate action) combined with 'procedure' (ordered steps) yields 'a set of steps to follow in an emergency.' This straightforward combination follows common noun-noun compounding patterns and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase emergency procedure comes from the idea of a simple plan to follow when something goes wrong: emergency means a sudden, urgent situation and procedure means a set of clear steps. So, it means 'a ready set of steps to keep people safe when danger happens'.
