As a precautionary measure, rescue teams have been deployed in six states -- Kerala, Karnataka,
Maharashtra
, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Goa -- which would likely be in direct line of threat of the cyclone.

Cyclones are officially named by one of the
World Meteorological Organization
's (WMO) warning centres based across the globe. The WMO/United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) Panel on Tropical Cyclones (PTC) includes 13 countries -- India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Maldives, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.
So is there any criteria when it comes to naming cyclones? While the name should ideally be short and understandable, an important factor is that it must not be insensitive.

But why name them in the first place? For most part, nomenclature helps in attaining clarity and avoiding confusion in case there's more than one cyclone hitting coast at a time. In the long run, enlisting a name also proves to be useful when a certain cyclone needs to be mentioned.
