The joint committee of municipal disaster management councils must formulate a multi-municipality area disaster management plan concerning that area, review it every year, and revise it when found necessary in accordance with the basic disaster management plan. In this case, the relevant multi-municipality area disaster management plan must not conflict with the disaster management operation plan or the prefectural area disaster management plan of the prefecture including the relevant municipality.
A multi-municipality area disaster management plan is to provide for all or some of the matters set forth in each item of Article 42, paragraph (2).
市町村相互間地域防災計画は、第四十二条第二項各号に掲げる事項の全部又は一部について定めるものとする。
The provisions of Article 42, paragraphs (4) through (6) inclusive apply mutatis mutandis to the multi-municipality area disaster management plan. In this case, the term "municipal disaster management council" in these provisions is deemed to be replaced with "joint committee of municipal disaster management councils".
第四十二条第四項から第六項までの規定は、市町村相互間地域防災計画について準用する。この場合において、これらの規定中「市町村防災会議」とあるのは、「市町村防災会議の協議会」と読み替えるものとする。
