Prepping a Bug Out Bag for Florida-Specific Emergencies

In Florida, preparing a bug out bag is more than just survival—it’s smart planning for hurricanes, flooding, and sudden evacuations.

Here’s what to pack with the Sunshine State in mind:

Waterproof bags or dry sacks to protect gear from heavy rain and floods.
Lightweight clothing that dries quickly in Florida’s humidity.
Extra bug spray and mosquito netting to handle the state’s intense mosquito season.
Portable water filtration system for unexpected water shortages.
Copies of important documents sealed in waterproof containers.
Non-perishable food items that can withstand high heat and humidity.
Battery-powered or hand-crank radio for hurricane updates.

Pro Tip: Rotate your bug out bag supplies every 6 months—Florida’s climate can wear down food, batteries, and gear faster than you think.
