Japan's Cabinet Office said Sunday that five prefectures in the Kyushu southwestern region have decided to apply the disaster relief act to all municipalities in each prefecture as Typhoon Nanmadol is feared to cause disasters there.
   The five prefectures are Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima.
   This is the first case in which the disaster relief act is applied before damage is actually caused since the law was revised in 2021 to enable such in-advance application.
   Under the law, municipalities' expenses for setting up evacuation centers are covered by the central and prefectural governments.
