In disaster response, it is said to be ideal establishing the disaster management cycle. Broadcasters are also expected to contribute to the prevention and mitigation of damage by reporting in accordance with this cycle. Therefore, in order to clarify the ideal form of broadcasting and the issues, we analyzed a radio program that have continued since the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. As a result, it was found that when disaster coverage was focused on a single disaster and continued over a long period of time, the content of the coverage changed in line with the disaster management cycle. In addition, it became clear that it is important for long-term disaster reporting to have academic experts and supporters appear repeatedly in the program to the extent that they become "familiar" to listeners.
