Ryan Sutter Is Heading to Florida to Assist Amid Hurricane Milton
On October 9, Trista Sutter shared a new post on her Instagram page. The photo she included showed Ryan Sutter and their dog Kota in the kitchen of their Denver, Colorado home. He appeared to be saying goodbye to Kota.
He was wearing a patch indicating he was a member of the National Urban Search & Rescue Response System for FEMA. She noted he was heading to Florida to “help with Search and Rescue.”
“He runs in when everyone else is running out, and I could not be more proud,” she wrote in the caption of her post.
As she asked for prayers, she explained they were “For him, for his task force team, for all those bravely running in, for all those fearful for their lives, their livelihoods, their futures.”
Sutter’s caption also included a prayer emoji and two hashtags. The hashtags were “prayers up” and “my real life hero.”
According to the Federal News Network, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assigned 1,200 search and rescue specialists to Florida in anticipation of Hurricane Milton arriving.
