Cash is pretty popular in Puerto Rico right now. I doubt it will disappear.

  Disaster is both a good time to have cash, and a bad time. Cash could be destroyed or lost. And most of us don't have "cash" we have bank accounts and ATMs. By the time we realize the disaster struck and the infrastructure is gone, the ATMs are already empty. It might actually be faster to get cell phone networks back up than it is to get the infrastructure behind ATM's back (roads, people distributing money and so on). So until then, only the preppers with enough cash for a long period of time have cash. That said, if I lived in an area where there was any risk at all of flood, earthquake or tropical weather, I'd have a large wad of cash somewhere.
