Blowing-snow disaster damage includes road infrastructures, vehicles and road users. The damage is caused by visibility hindrance or snow drifts or both of those phenomena that are complicatedly interacted. To manage the blowing-snow disaster risks, drivers’ cancelling a drive trip or road administrators’ closing roads prior to the expected disaster will be effective as the risk avoidance measures. To timely realize in-advance risk avoidance actions, activating risk communications among the stakeholders including meteorologists, road administrators, media and road users will be vital as they could share the information on the disaster risk from blowing snow. Continually improving the risk communications through the PDCA Cycle may strengthen countermeasures that are realized by the stakeholders against blowing-snow disasters, which will result in the enforcement of social controllability of blowing-snow disaster risks.
