These teams will respond to rain-related complaints and consist of static teams, mini-mobile teams, and emergency mobile teams.
Among the 534 teams, there are 157 mobile teams, 242 static teams, 29 teams on CRMP roads, 30 teams on DRF, 13 police department teams, 41 electricity department teams, and 22 water works teams.

The emergency teams will have the necessary tools to pump out water, clear clogged drains, and remove obstacles like uprooted trees. Efforts are being made to reduce water stagnation points across the city and address water logging points urgently.
During heavy rainfall, people are advised to avoid unnecessary travel and contact the GHMC call centre in case of emergencies. GHMC is committed to ensuring the well-being of citizens and minimizing the impact of heavy rainfall by addressing potential challenges proactively.
