In all situations, rumors can be dangerous. They can direct people to the wrong resources or cause an unnecessary panic. If you're getting information through a shared message, always verify it with the original source it claims to represent.
Rumors circulating on social media and the internet about martial law are FALSE.
Help stop the proliferation of rumors by not sharing them. Seek out trusted sources.
Visit or follow The National Guard on Facebook.
Thank you for your continued support!
