<sup>art-43 · https://japanlaw.org/en/disaster-management-act/art-43 · https://japanlaw.org/l/336AC0000000223/art-43</sup>

**第一項**  都道府県防災会議の協議会は、防災基本計画に基づき、当該地域に係る都道府県相互間地域防災計画を作成し、及び毎年都道府県相互間地域防災計画に検討を加え、必要があると認めるときは、これを修正しなければならない。この場合において、当該都道府県相互間地域防災計画は、防災業務計画に抵触するものであつてはならない。
<sup>art-43/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/disaster-management-act/art-43/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/336AC0000000223/art-43/par-1</sup>
The joint committee of prefectural disaster management councils must formulate a multi-prefecture mutual 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, that multi-prefecture mutual area disaster management plan must not conflict with the disaster management operation plan.
<sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

**第二項**  都道府県相互間地域防災計画は、第四十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。
<sup>art-43/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/en/disaster-management-act/art-43/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/336AC0000000223/art-43/par-2</sup>
A multi-prefecture mutual area disaster management plan is to provide for all or some of the matters set forth in each item of Article 40, paragraph (2).
<sup>Ministry of Justice translation — Japanese Law Translation Database System</sup>

**第三項**  第四十条第四項から第六項までの規定は、都道府県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「都道府県防災会議」とあるのは、「都道府県防災会議の協議会」と読み替えるものとする。
<sup>art-43/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/en/disaster-management-act/art-43/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/336AC0000000223/art-43/par-3</sup>
The provisions of Article 40, paragraphs (4) through (6) apply mutatis mutandis to the multi-prefecture mutual area disaster management plan. In this case, the term "prefectural disaster management council" in these provisions is deemed to be replaced with "joint committee of prefectural disaster management councils".
