It reassured that it has enough personnel to respond, even if all states were to be hit by floods simultaneously.

The department explained that in such a scenario, personnel would be directed to switch from 12-hour to 24-hour work shifts.

It adds that even with the recent Typhoon Senyar incident combined with the monsoon season, the department still did not have to utilize 100% of its manpower.
