Unverified storm damage videos spread faster than emergency alerts, and conspiracy theories about weather manipulation exploit public confusion during crisis moments. Misinformation delays evacuation compliance, disrupts resource allocation, and erodes trust in institutions precisely when coordinated response capacity is most critical—turning information chaos into a public safety liability that compounds physical disaster.
