A sufficient amount of on hand cash to allow at least a weeks food and lodging, if evacuation is necessary.

This is good except at what inflation rate do you calculate how much cash you need. In Patriots they were paying $60 a gallon for gas, so I assume a night at the Holiday Inn must be about $4000.
Also for some reason they prefered silver dimes to other currency.

Not to get too far off topic... but if you need a currency.. as in Patriots, where the dollar has collapsed and is worthless... pre 64 (70%silver) dimes would be a small denomination currency of some intrinsic value... currently worth about $1.50 in dollars. They are a store of value only, you do not make money buying low and selling high... well, you make money.. but don't increase "value".
