I'm terrified, and it's not just because I am worried that Social Security may disappear.

You're right. It's awful. If you haven't already, download and preserve personal key documentation like this as part of your grab bag contents. You may want to print a copy or two and store separately. Get other affairs in order, e.g. power of attorney, advance directives, other legal and financial instruments needed to avoid probate.

I know this sounds like doom-mongering and I'm sorry. But, if needed, your survivors will appreciate you even more. It's also good to build up some key household supplies since price instability may be growing. Hurricanes and runs on toilet paper are paired this way!
