STASH SOME CASH

As you set aside cash for the holidays this season, consider stashing some of that cash for emergencies. OEM recommends New Yorkers keep a small amount of cash in their Go Bags. In the event of a widespread power outage, ATMs will not work and merchants may be unable to accept credit cards. If your budget allows, it's a good idea to have a small amount of cash on hand for any type of emergency.
