Add road closures on Google Maps during Mumbai Floods

After days of relentless rain, Mumbai is experiencing catastrophic floods. Roads are closed in many parts of the city. To help Mumbaikars navigate during this emergency, you can add road closure information on Google Maps.

 

How to add a road closure on Google Maps:

  1. Open the menu in the top-left corner, then scroll down to “Send feedback” (or “Help & Feedback” on iOS)
  2. Tap “Edit the map” (or “Report a data problem” on iOS)
  3. Tap the road you want to report
  4. Tap “Next,” then select “Closed”
  5. Add a note saying “Mumbai floods” and tap “SEND”

@AradhanaB

Really a great option to help the common man.

All Mumbai LG should come forward by adding this on Google maps so that the persons who are facing hard time could be helped.

 

Really a nice way to help others through Google Maps.

 

Keep Guiding

Happy Mapping

Yes, LocalGuides can do a lot to update the Road Status in Maps, @AradhanaB!

 

 

 

From Android Maps, when you see a road is re-opened after closure, you can report by clicking on the closed road segment, then "Report road reopened".

Re: Add road closures on Google Maps during Mumbai Floods

To have roads closed on GMaps as soon as possible in cases other than the flooding in Mumbai--Houston Texas for example--are there specific key phrases that must be used?
