The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the use of risk communication technologies for the prevention of disasters. It is justified by the recent proposals of national and international organizations for the establishment of a global culture for the prevention of such events. Among these actions, the use of risk communication technologies is considered critical for the circulation of information and the engagement of actors in preventive actions. The theoretical-methodological approach adopted in this research seeks to find partial connections between constructionist movement assumptions and Science, Technology and Society studies in this cases concerning risk communication. These case studies derived from the analysis of documents, interviews and research diaries and are presented in the format of micronarratives. The first case study discusses the version of technicians and specialists regarding the use of alert drafts as a strategy for preparation for possible disasters. When all pieces of information appears simultaneously, alert drafts decrease the time of issue. The second case study stems, from the perspective of the managers, and addresses the performative character of rain gauges on a network for monitoring and alerting risk in São Paulo. These instruments exert agency, transform the spaces in which they operate and the way different actors read the data produced by it. The last study is an alternative to previous risk communication technologies used for prevention. Its focus is the voluntary participation of radio amateurs in disaster risks communication networks and how they can associate information flow with the flexible character of their technologies. Radio amateurs, therefore, can be considered as preventive agents who deal with the imponderability of disaster and also adapt their own technologies to adverse situations. Our argument that radio amateurs can act in disaster situations prior to their occurrence is based in a reformulation of the notions of disaster time and risk prevention. Prevention will always be prone to failure. And time is just one more fluid
