In college the whole town flooded and I evacced back home w/the folks for a week. Buddy owned a business considered essential, he stayed put and stayed open. We were talking about it sometime after I came back to college-town and he told me many other essential business owners were having to drive 50-75Mi out of town to find an ATM with any funds available as all the ATM's in town w/power/access were out of $$.
I don't keep years worth of cash for bills etc, just enough to get away from a nat'l disaster zone. Few tanks of fuel, hotel for a few nights, food for a week or so.
If it's much worse than what my stash can handle, we're all in deep doo-doo and a steady supply of clean/fresh water is going to be the biggest hurdle.
