A personal safety flotation device which can be carried on a person for an evacuation requiring entry into a body of water. The personal safety flotation device is for individual use comprising a carrying bag and an inflatable platform which is stowed in the carrying bag in a deflated state. The inflatable platform has a hexagonal shape allowing stability on the water and ability to connect to other inflatable platforms to create a larger surface area. The inflatable platform comprises additional safety features such as an emergency radio beacon, LED lights, light reflective strip, radar reflective pad, rope around a perimeter, and spring hooks for attachment. The carrying bag is attachable to a person and upon entry into a body of water the inflatable platform is automatically inflated with a connected compressed gas cylinder and the inflatable platform remains connected to the carrying bag via a connection strap.
