sabrina cohen—hatton is here to tell us what's caught her eye. good morning.ry about the weather? it is. we have got predictions for floods at the moment. that is something none of us particularly wa nt moment. that is something none of us particularly want to know about! but u nfortu nately, particularly want to know about! but unfortunately, it is becoming a more regular occurrence in the country due to climate change and a number of other things. in my dayjob, in the fire and rescue service, we deal with it quite often. we underestimate the work and coordination that go into dealing with disasters like this. an incident like a flooding will be spread over a large area. it can be quite challenging to coordinate something like that. and, the amount of hours of work that go into it from firefighters, police and paramedics, from the people who we trust to call out and deal with this is phenomenal. so, none of us are particularly pleased when we see flooding alerts but it is something we need to deal with more and more often. and as a psychologist you know the i
