In certain cases, when you see the first signs of an impending scenario when martial law is imminent, you might want to bug out to a safe location, if you have one. Also, all your supplies will become government property if you don’t stockpile smart (more on that in the next paragraphs).īeing self-reliant under martial law means that you must have a method of producing your own electricity, the means to prepare and cook food, ways to sterilize water, and everything else that will assure the same level of comfort you were used to before martial law was declared. Your supplies should last for at least six months if you don’t want to stay in line for help.
MARTIAL LAW DECLARED FULL
For most of us, it will be rather easy to survive when the government takes full control of food and supplies and their distribution.Īs an average Joe, you should avoid waiting for handouts during a disaster or hope that some military rations will find their ways towards you, and you must have your own supply of food and water. How to survive martial law: Being self-reliantĪs preppers, we are already prepared to outlast various scenarios that may cut us off from the major supply chains. However, even for them, there are certain things that become mandatory under martial law. Those that are prepared and organized should be able to survive such a scenario without having their lives turned upside down. There are certain rights that will be suspended if martial law hits, such as: It doesn’t matter if you think what’s happening is right or wrong, and you have to give up certain civil rights for the good of the nation/state. When martial law is declared, everyone is expected to follow the same rules, no questions asked! Martial law can be declared during a state of war when natural disasters are too much to handle for local authorities, when a coup is developing or even when uncontrollable riots and protests affect an entire region. It is declared when an imminent threat disturbs peace and order. To put it simply, martial law is the imposition of military rule and the occupation of the government over a specific region. I believe we should all have a survival strategy if martial law will be upon us in the near future. The United States has a certain history when it comes to martial law, and like many other nations, it will do whatever is necessary to defend its integrity (and protect?) its citizens.
