No. The US Constitution specificaly states that the sitting president's term of office ends at noon on 20th January. The president-elect may take the oath of office anywhere he happens to be just before noon, and be sworn in by almost anyone serving in some sort of official capacity. No emergency can delay that process.

What is a sitting president?

Sitting means "current" or "active" president. According to the smarties on StackExchange politics, it is acceptable, to call ex-presidents "Mister [lastname]", or "Former President", or even "Mister President" - even though they no longer have that role. Famously, Marilyn Monroe addressed a sitting member of the executive staff (President Kennedy) as "Mister President" in a happy birthday song, and most guys who listened to that.. well, their members were standing rather than sitting afterwards. ;)
