Prime Minister’s instruction at the sixth meeting of Emergency Headquarters for Response to Disaster
March 12, 2011
[Provisional Translation]
In order to vigorously push forward lifesaving, you should
1. attempt to enhance wide-area support system, such as proactively deploying troops of Self-Defense Force into rescue operations especially for those who are isolated, and
2. tackle building up support for such local authorities whose administrative functions are lost.
