Don't worry about it, your not as screwed as you think.....in fact, your more screwed. I say that because your not going to need money anyways, be it cash or otherwise. Think about it, if the power went down for a week (((assuming it's a catastrophic event and it's out over a whole region)))) your not going to need money for anything anyways. The reason is that every other business is already tied to their computers to the extent that they can't sell anything if their systems go down either. So, the grocery stores can't sell anything even if you've got cash because none of the items have a price, only a barcode. None of the service stations/convenience stores can sell anything for the same reason, not to mention the pumps aren't going to work without power......
Now, to make matters even worse, think about this. When was the last time you saw a grocery store, or a convenience store that had a backup generator for emergencies? Personally I don't know of a one that has a generator, which doesn't make sense to me. You'd think that at least the grocery stores would be required to have one, if only by their insurance companies, to power the refrigeration, and freezer units, if nothing else. Heck, the cost of a generator would be small compared to the amount of loss that would be incurred by an extended power outage. Not to mention, the loss of business by not being able to sell anything at the very time people really needed it.
Now, lets take it one more step down the hole of technology. Even if many stores had power, they couldn't operate because their computer systems aren't local. Instead, they are tied into a corporate computer somewhere else that gives them all the info needed to make a sale, or anything else for that matter. So, if the power was out in a whole region, and the stores headquarters was also without power, then everyone is still screwed even if the store has a generator for itself.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
