Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Ensuring accurate information during natural disasters is vital for effective emergency response and public safety. Disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes often trigger misinformation, complicating response efforts and endangering lives. Historical events, such as Hurricane Katrina and the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrate the harmful impact of false information. Artificial intelligence (AI), with technologies like natural language processing and machine learning, offers promising solutions for detecting and mitigating misinformation. This paper explores AI’s role in managing misinformation during disasters, highlighting its potential to improve disaster response, enhance public trust, and strengthen community resilience.
