Flood Response under Crowd Misinformation: Robust Belief Fusion and UAV Verification Prioritization

This paper proposes a distributionally robust decision framework that fuses uncertain crowdsourced flood reports with scarce UAV inspections to derive optimal verification strategies, proving a contamination threshold that dictates when to prioritize recalibrating unreliable sources over inspecting road states, thereby significantly reducing stranded passengers and error propagation compared to non-robust baselines.
