Any major catastrophe will leave many relics. Messages of disaster survivor’s testimonies and the relics are important to preserve disaster risk reduction. By using disaster heritage seems to be important to community resilient in disaster affected areas. To accomplish this purpose, we try to formulate the connection between keeping disasters heritage with economics creative post disaster. To shows the other benefit of disaster heritage, we conducted survey in the disaster site in Aceh Indonesia, the heritage of disaster does not only include sorrow and it serve as a dark tourism attraction. It can be tools for sustainability of disaster education for the next generation and increasing economics of communities surrounding historical sites. It is serve as a lesson for other disaster areas such as Japan, where many disaster relics have been destroyed.
