Using the Internet for natural disaster management and civic participation is now a hot issue in communication and disaster studies, but in the related literature the effect of digital poverty on people's risk information seeking is largely neglected. This paper argues that a high risk population of climate disaster suffers from both social vulnerability and digital poverty, and therefore it is difficult for the Internet to become the most effective source of disaster risk information. Using the 2016 Taiwan Communication Survey, the data analysis shows that vulnerable people in Taiwan rely much more on TV rather than on the Internet to access disaster information for typhoons and floods, because of their digital poverty.
