I'd still keep some cash around. My sister's city in NC recently got hit with a hurricane. Luckily she had cash laying around, because for a while there wasn't power, or internet access.
...or the hurricane/flooding washed away the floorboards under which the cash was hidden.
oops.

Why would someone hide cash under theor floorboards? We're talking about a week's supply...

Once I helped a friend's family member move. This family member was hitting hard times and didn't have any money. I was moving her mattress and found $1300 USD in 2005. We all were laughing about this because the family member still didn't know she had this money. A week later we gave it to her and she was nearly crying for joy.
