Combatting Disinformation and Rumors

To help the American public distinguish between rumors and facts regarding the response to COVID-19, FEMA has created a Rumor Control page on FEMA.gov. The public can help control the spread of rumors by sharing our page: fema.gov/coronavirus.

Check the sources of information you see about COVID-19 by seeking out trusted, verified sources like www.coronavirus.gov or your state and local government’s official accounts.

Everyone can do their part to stop the spread of disinformation by doing three things: 

  1. Don’t believe rumors
  2. Don’t pass them along 
  3. Go to trusted sources of information to get the facts
