Mumbai's railway police are being trained to manoeuvre through floodwater aboard motorboats to rescue stranded train passengers. Officers were given training at the GIP railway dam and lake in Ambernath.

This year, as part of the monsoon preparations, Central Railway has procured five boats, while Western Railway is in the process of getting eight boats. Also, CR and WR are expecting 80 life jackets each along with other necessary equipment by May-end. A special RPF Flood Rescue Team has also been formed this year.
