Always thought of "emergency" as a critical situation which needs immediate action.
"urgency" on the other hand implies an important situation which needs swift (not necessarily immediate) action.

Definitely.
비상사태 - "Red Alert" (Highest trauma level/full emergency) - Immediate action required.
긴급상태 - "Orange Alert" (Severe trauma level/Significant emergency) - Early attention required.
However from the "highlight", the focus here is on the verb 발생하다, occur/arise etc.
