We collect 196 respondents with questionnaire method out of 384 facilities in the Hyogo prefecture disaster areas. We find that the half of facilities became the shelter for elderly and handicapped refugees in spite of various difficulties. Many elderly and handicapped refugees was accepted in the bed room of the facilities. The date to become normal administration is due to styles of acceptance. If they accommodate rooms for refugees, the administration can be reopened earlier. Social welfare facilities accepted mainly elderly and handicapped refugees in this disaster.
