And Bonnie, just to bring you in here, can you explain, um, the role of the Met Office? Because that would obviously begin quite early on when it comes to weather forecasting.

With the Exercise Valentina, um, our role is very much the same as what it would be in real life.

Uh, the difference being that we were working with DFI behind the scenes in the months and the weeks leading up to the exercise.

You know, normally we have a couple of days advance notice.

We can then let, um, the public or emergency responders or behind the scenes, uh, in this case with the exercise, know that something's coming, um, here's our weather warning, and then closer to the time, uh, issuing a higher impact level or an amber or a red weather warning.

Um, so it was a lot of work that went on the behind the scenes to, to get the, the story right that would allow DFI and police and other organizations to really test their processes and frameworks.

And Bonnie, what were some of the takeaways for Met Office?

So very similar to what has been said already, it's the contacts, the knowing and trusting the people that you're working with.
