The two National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams, comprising about 50 personnel each, were taken in an IAF plane from Bhatinda in Punjab to Srinagar.
"We have pre-positioned two of our teams in the Kashmir Valley in order to combat any situation in the wake of flood alert.
"Four other teams at Ghaziabad and Bhatinda will be on standby," NDRF Director General O P Singh told PTI here.
The DG said there was no need to panic and the force along with the state government is putting in all measures to tackle a possible flood situation.
"There is no flooding as of now. There is some water logging in areas of Kashmir Valley. It is good news that there have been no rains for a couple of hours now in the state," he said.
However, the IMD (Indian Meteorological Department) has predicted rains in the next 2-3 days.
"The situation is not bad and we are all ready to tackle any situation," he said.
Singh said the teams which have been airlifted are equipped with communication, rescue and retrieval gadgets as per the standard operating procedures to combat flood situations, he said.
The NDRF had played a vital role along other defence forces in undertaking massive relief and rescue operations last year when Kashmir Valley was inundated in the worst-ever floods in the history of the state.
A Home Ministry statement later said, the NDRF teams to Kashmir are carrying 16 rubberized inflatable boats, four diving sets, 80 life jackets, 80 life buoys, two satellite phones and all other necessary equipments to deal with the situation.
"The teams are also equipped with modern communication gadgets like V-Sat, HF and VHF communication sets including satellite phones to be in communication with higher head quarter and to give minute to minute updates of situation for further planning of operation," the statement said.
