Cash is King

Put it in your go bag, in your top drawer, maybe even hide some in your car - and don't dip into it! When the power goes out and the digital world is useless, you'll be glad you have cash. There's a possibility some local retailers will be open, but you'll be needing the green stuff because, in a power outage, credit card machines and ATMSs will be down and you’ll understand very quickly why cash is king.
