State of emergency, I'd presume.
Marshall law is something similar, isn't it?

Yes, it does, in many countries. In Mexico we say "estado de sitio".

Avoiding confusion & misunderstanding:

"Marshall Law" = an Australian television series.

The homophone "martial law" = military rule by military authorities on an emergency basis.

Angelique, is correct, "estado se sitio" imposed by the military in emergency situations.
