This article aims to review the current situation of DPRK natural disaster management and suggest the possible ways of cooperation to invite DPRK into the global society. We focus on three objectives. First, we review and categorize the natural disasters that occurred in DPRK between 2001 and 2015. We trace the damages caused by them and frequency of occurrence. Second, we examine DPRK disaster management policies and legal systems. Third, based on the results of the previous two analyses, we suggest approaches to promote cooperation and possible projects to prevent and manage natural disasters in DPRK. To propel persistently the cooperation with DPRK, active cooperation with IGOs and INGOs might be a good approach, which encompasses information and personnel exchanges. The aid to DPRK should start from small-scale pilot project cases. We should also pursue to build network with DPRK experts and government officials as overriding concern.
