Disaster misinformation flourished long before AI, social media, and the always-connected world we now live in. Still, there is no denying that these elements make it easier for falsities to take hold and mislead more people than ever before. There are ways to fight misinformation though and the panelists in this session will outline a few—the power of data to combat mythmaking, the use of prebunking to help familiarize people with misleading tactics, best practices in social media crisis communications, and the strategies journalists use to identify and avoid perpetuating false information.
