This paper discusses effective strategy of seismic strengthening houses for reduction of death toll. In the first part, we construct the equations by which the death toll in a single house unit can be estimated with considering the rate of seismic strengthening. In the second part, we apply the equations to the area in Owariasahi city and estimate death reduction in order to figure out the effect of seismic strengthening strategies. As a result we simulated that when the seismic repairing of houses is planned in target districts the strategy giving priority to vulnerable houses is more effective to decrease the death toll than any other strategies having no priority on structural strength of house.
