In 2008, Blumenau suffered the greatest socio-environmental disaster in history. Ten years after the tragedy, this paper brings together some reflections on the change in the use of communication technologies in the coverage of such phenomena. The methodological framework is constituted, from a qualitative perspective, in a bibliographic investigation, adopting an exploratory and descriptive approach. The analysis focused on describing how this process developed in the last decade, taking into account that the change of technical and political procedures for the confrontation of such phenomena coincides with the transformations by which communication technologies have passed. The research contributed to provide clues about the role that newspapers, radio and television broadcasters, virtual social networks and mobile applications played in Blumenau in building public perceptions of risks, and the implications of such frameworks for disaster management.
