Michael
Petruccelli says: Have cash on hand.
If you will be staying with friends, family, or in a hotel (don't count on it,
have a backup plan even if you've made reservations ahead of time) withdraw sufficient
cash for two weeks.
o
ATMs and banks may not be operating
in the aftermath of a major hurricane and some credit card machines will be
down.
o
If you expect to be displaced, a
family of four needs approximately $500 to last a week if you'll be staying in
hotels. You'll need less than that if you will be staying with friends,
relatives or in a shelter.
