A large amount of disinformation and misinformation spread over the Noto Peninsula earthquake occurred on 1 January 2024, causing confusion. This article attempts to summarise what kind of disinformation and misinformation was generated and shared as the phases of the disaster (onset, rescue, evacuation, recovery and reconstruction) changed with the passage of time since the earthquake. The spread of disinformation and misinformation has become a major problem not only during disasters, but also worldwide. In this context, digital archives, such as ministry and primary information archives and verified data, have been a major countermeasure. There is a need to create a database to share the spread of disinformation and misinformation and the fact-checking content that has verified it.
