The aim of this study is to offer a sociological communication’s reflection in calamity society, divided into two closely integrated and mutually consequential parts. The first part will consid-er why a sociological approach to cyclical disasters is appropriate, and the possible application of this approach will then be outlined, leading us to the second section of this work. The sec-ond part of the essay dwells on issues concerning risk communication, considering that communicative processes play a priority role in the selection of risks, through a slow process of social construction that begins with what Beck calls the staging of risk through a metamorphic process. In this context, a decisive role is played by communication, intended here as a phenomenon affecting the risk management process.
