Abstract: Amid the increasing frequency and severity of major disasters, the rapid spread of online misinformation poses substantial risks to public safety, effective crisis management, and long-term societal sustainability. Current methods for managing disaster-related rumors rely on static, rule-based approaches that lack scalability, fail to capture nuanced misinformation, and are limited to reactive responses, hindering effective disaster management. To address this gap, this study proposes a novel framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) and event knowledge graphs (EKGs) to facilitate the sustainable agile identification and adaptive control of disaster-related online rumors. The framework follows a multi-stage process, which includes the collection and preprocessing of disaster-related online data, the application of Gaussian Mixture Wasserstein Autoencoders (GMWAEs) for sentiment and rumor analysis, and the development of EKGs to enrich the understanding and reasoning of disaster events. Additionally, an enhanced model for rumor identification and risk control is introduced, utilizing Graph Attention Networks (GATs) to extract node features for accurate rumor detection and prediction of rumor propagation paths. Extensive experimental validation confirms the efficacy of the proposed methodology in improving disaster response. This study contributes novel theoretical insights and presents practical, scalable solutions for rumor control and risk management during crises.
