11 Senior Survival Rules No One Tells You (Emergency Prep For People After 60)

Two choices made during the 2021 Texas freeze turned a cold snap deadly for people over 60, and most of them never saw it coming. Gary Benson, retired Army and Vietnam veteran, walks through all 11 rules behind that storm, Hurricane Katrina, the Chicago heat wave and the scams draining seniors' bank accounts, with the real numbers behind each one. You'll learn when to leave before you're sure, how much water actually gets you through a week, why your medicine counts as food, what makes a generator or space heater turn deadly indoors, and the one phone habit that stops a scammer cold. It closes with Admiral Jim Stockdale's rule from eight years as a POW in Hanoi, on keeping faith without lying to yourself about how bad things are. Every rule here is something you can set up today, on paper, before you ever need it. #SeniorSurvival #DisasterPreparedness #VeteranWisdom #AgingInPlace #EmergencyPrepForSeniors
