What will you do for cash if the power is out, along with the internet connections to your local ATM? That means no debit card, no credit card and no check verification. Cash on hand is an important part of preparedness planning.
Put it in an envelope in your kit, seal it and forget it. It should be considered as spent, because we’ll use it when we need it and we’ll be glad because it’s there. It’s not if, it’s when.
