In cases where a disaster involving an area of a prefecture has occurred or is likely to occur, when the prefectural governor finds that support concerning emergency disaster control measures would not be implemented smoothly only by the instructions under Article 72, paragraph (1), or the request under paragraph (2) of the same Article, Article 74, paragraph (1), or paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, the governor may request the Prime Minister to ask the governors of other prefectures to support the governor of the prefecture where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur (hereinafter referred to as "governor of the prefecture where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur" in this Article) or the mayor of the municipality where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur.
In cases where a request has been made under the preceding paragraph, when the Prime Minister finds it particularly necessary for ensuring that emergency disaster control measures to be taken by the governor of the prefecture where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur and the mayor of the municipality where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur are implemented accurately and smoothly, the Prime Minister may ask prefectural governors other than the governor of the prefecture where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur to support the governor of the prefecture where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur or the mayor of the municipality where the disaster has occurred or is likely to occur.
内閣総理大臣は、前項の規定による要求があつた場合において、災害発生都道府県知事及び災害発生市町村長の実施する災害応急対策が的確かつ円滑に行われるようにするため特に必要があると認めるときは、当該災害発生都道府県知事以外の都道府県知事に対し、当該災害発生都道府県知事又は当該災害発生市町村長を応援することを求めることができる。
