A general view of a flooded town in Sukhothai province is seen, north of Bangkok on Sept. 12. Thousands have fled their homes in Northern Thailand after heavy rain caused a major river to overflow at the start of the month, sending up to a meter of water into some towns. So far, four people have died.



We are so fortunate to have layers of emergency resources in place.It is so easy to take these for granted. Seeing the number of places around the world like this place being flooded, one is reminded how blessed we really are.
