It is very importantto reduce the number of shelters and the evacuees as soon as possible. In thisstudy, we analyzed the factors of promoting a return home from the shelterafter an earthquake. It is made clear that a sum of simple exponential modelwell represents the transition of evacuees. The recovery of the lifeline suchas city water, city gas and electricity promoted a return home.
