The most recent estimate was carried out in 2012 by the United States Census Bureau and it was estimated that the state’s population had reached 19,317,568.

Depends on what you are prepping for and many other factors like time of year, the amount and type of destruction, expected lenght of event before recovery and so on, but one thing you must consider is that in some events you would literary be competing in your 'hunting and gathering' against how ever many of those 19 million plus fellow Floridians survive as well.

Good evening. Thanks for adding me to your ping list.

but one thing you must consider is that in some events you would literary be competing in your 'hunting and gathering' against how ever many of those 19 million plus fellow Floridians survive as well.

There were 239,500 hunters in 2011, and 1.1 million fishermen in the same year (fws.com). You might have another 750,000 who could live off the land in the state, who could compete for the same resources. Methinks the other 17 million people will not be a problem in regards to scarce resources. Matter of fact, I might be feeding some of those people if they had certain skills that we may need.

Methinks we will probably do ok.
