Hello Friend,

It is not only during a disaster that we should be financially prepared. Post-disaster effects are also things that we need to consider.

In planning for the safety and sustainability of the whole family after an emergency, the following are important tips to note.

Stash away some cash.

On normal days, cash isn’t an ideal form of money to keep. Aside from it being prone to getting misplaced, robbed, or washed away, it can also bug our minds into spending more than we can afford. However, if we want to recover from unexpected emergencies or disasters, we need to invest in keeping a substantial amount.

Why? Well, online banking, money outlets, or ATM machines might not be functional after a storm, flood, earthquake, or fire, but our tummies aren’t. We constantly need to feed, bathe, and work, thus we constantly have to be financially stable.

If you can’t use your cards, your best immediate option is cash. However, if you worry about how you can keep your cash safe, you can try putting them in a secured pouch for documents and money that has a handle to grab on.
