> It's one reason it's a good idea to always have some cash at home.

More than cash it was important yesterday to have the following in case it would have lasted longer:

- a battery powered am/fm radio with spare new batteries

- some candles and matches

- food reserves for a few days that don't need refrigeration: bread, anything in can, pasta, rice...

- some kind of gaz or alcohol stove, dry wood or bbq charcoal: you can always make a fire in the middle of the street where there is no risk of burning things around.

- water reserve (I always have like 24L of drinking water) and since I hate waste I regularly fill jerrycans when waiting for hot water in the shower that I use for manual washes (kitchenware or gears).
