We’ve heard a lot of horrific stories coming out of Israel and Gaza over the past few days. The shocking Hamas-led massacre has all eyes on that part of the world and the violence is far from over. The tragedy of this is the real people – families, elders, and children – who are in harm’s way, targets whether they personally have ever done anything to the enemy or not.

There are many lessons for those of us who want to be prepared for such events. In these stories, you can find hope, resilience, and strategies that could help you learn more about survival. None of these lessons are political, though many seem determined to make it so. What we’re learning from are the stories of real people who experienced something shocking and devastating. Remember, survival is just about surviving.
