In the methodologies of health communication, groups of people are intervened in effective ways to change their behavior in healthier direction. Toward the goal of significantly raising the resilience of the society against disasters, we promote the behavioral change on people's attitudes against disasters by developing a new discipline of "disaster risk reduction communication" and implementing it in the society. Under the new discipline, the methodogies of effective intervention for raising awareness and taking measures agaist disasters are structured by adapting the methodologies of health communication to the problems specific to disasters.
