At the time of disaster, to keep the level of bath-support in each region, it is hoped to utilize private institutions. Indeed, many local governments contract agreements with several private institutions to get their supports. However, it is suspicious whether they can behave as bath-supporters or not in the disaster. In this study, we focused on local public baths and accommodations, and gathered cases of their activities in past disasters or contract of agreements with local governments. We also estimated the amount of bath-supports supplied by private institutions, by simulation in the real region. Furthermore, we researched some problems about participation of private institutions and considered how to resolve them.
