The　earthquake　happened　in　Wenchuan,　Sichuan,　province　on　May　12,　2008,　resulted　in　a　tremendous　loss　of　property　and　lives.　Emergency　evacuation　and　transfer　are　so　important　that　government　should　give　them　high　priority.　The　emergency　evacuation　corridor　planning　will　be　more　significant　for　restoration　of　disaster　areas.　This　paper　proposes　a　methodology　for　the　carrying　capability　of　regional　earthquake　evacuation　corridors　based　on　macro-simulation　and　to　prove　the　availability　and　rationality　of　a　predetermined　regional　earthquake　evacuation　plan.　The　proposed　approach　includes　three　processes:　1)　Estimate　the　evacuation　demand　of　earthquake　affected　area;　2)　Confirm　the　OD-pairs　based　on　the　location　of　shelter　and　the　preplanned　direction　of　evacuation;　3)　Build　up　the　earthquake　evacuation　network　through　the　macro-simulation　software　OREMS　as　well　as　input　the　outcome　of　procedures　1　and　2.　Meanwhile,　the　carrying　capability　of　preplanned　regional　earthquake　evacuation　corridor　through　evacuation　clearance　time　and　average　evacuation　speed　are　the　output　of　OREMS.　In　the　end,　the　proposed　approach　was　employed　in　the　Beijing　case　and　proved　the　availability　and　rationality　of　Beijing　earthquake　evacuation　corridor　planning.　Criterion　for　selecting　the　earthquake　evacuation　road　and　the　methodology　for　searching　availability　and　rationality　of　earthquake　evacuation　corridor　planning　are　proposed　in　this　paper.　©　2010　ASCE.
