Hurricane Bug Out is a Florida-based hurricane preparedness and recovery brand built on decades of lived experience, real-world storm deployments, and practical overlanding expertise. We help individuals, families, and new Florida residents cut through the noise and prepare with clarity, confidence, and proven strategies that work when the pressure rises. Our mission is simple: turn chaos into calm through education, field-tested gear, and real-time guidance before, during, and after major storms.

We provide media outlets with expert commentary on hurricane readiness, evacuation planning, emergency kits, gear reviews, and on-the-ground storm insights. Our founder, Mark Laymon, has more than 40 years of hurricane experience in South Florida, a background in community-building, and a deep understanding of disaster logistics, overland deployment, and digital communication during extreme weather. Whether you need a quick quote, a live interview, or a deeper story on hurricane culture and preparedness, we can deliver fast, accurate, and actionable information.

For press inquiries, interviews, collaborations, or speaking opportunities, we welcome you to reach out. Hurricane Bug Out is committed to helping media tell the story of preparedness in a way that empowers communities, reduces panic, and saves lives.
