Bangladesh authorities have cautioned citizens against spreading or believing social media rumors about impending earthquakes, describing the phenomenon as an 'earthquake infodemic.' Experts explain that such 'good-intention rumors' often spread when people forward unverified messages to alert others, but these can cause serious harm. The government warns that false alerts lead to three major risks: ignoring real warnings, triggering panic and accidents, and misusing emergency services. Citizens are urged to rely only on official sources such as the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR), and Google Earthquake Alerts for accurate information. The Cyber Security Act allows legal action against those who deliberately spread false information that causes public panic. Authorities emphasize verifying any message before sharing it and following official updates to ensure safety during seismic events.
