Links to Official Sites and Trusted Information

The internet is incredibly helpful and misleading. So how do you know who to trust? What information is accurate, and what is not?

When deciding what to believe, look for the thread of truth – the facts that are consistent even when found in different places. The other way to know you can trust the information on a website is if the site is from a trusted location, such as the government or an organization that has proved to be honest over time.
Rumor breeds fear and chaos. We encourage you to be careful when repeating information you are not positive is true. If you hear something you aren’t sure about,  check it out or send the question to us. We will research it and find the answers.
