This study estimates the number of evacuees that can be accommodated in 32 shelters in Bunkyo Ward and investigates shelters' refugee-acceptance preparations. Across shelters, the estimated evacuee number ranges from 500 to 2,500, with 2 shelters having an excess of approximately 1,000 people, who arrive because of house destruction and fires. Some shelters underestimate the number of these evacuees. Regarding the check-in procedure, counter-plans prove insufficient for large-scale evacuations and for shelters that do not follow the local government's policy regarding stranded commuters. Therefore, each shelter must estimate the number of refugees and establish an appropriate situation-based individual system.
