Trooper Krupczyk, a first responder from Oklahoma, has been working tirelessly in the community of Sulphur since the storm hit a week ago. He and other first responders have been working around the clock to help those affected by the severe weather. The destruction and aftermath of the storms have taken a toll on both the physical and mental well-being of these brave individuals.
As they continue to assist in the recovery efforts, concerns about the mental health toll of their work have been raised. Krupczyk, who has been on the ground since day one, understands this all too well. He has seen firsthand how devastating it can be for people to lose their homes, livelihoods, and businesses. In addition to dealing with this trauma, he must also ensure that they are safe from potential dangers like collapsed structures or live electricity when entering unsafe premises.
To address these concerns, FEMA is urging anyone in need of disaster assistance in Sulphur to reach out by calling 1-800-621-3362. First responders like Krupczyk are crucial in aiding in the recovery efforts and supporting those affected by this destructive weather event.
