Money: maybe get to know your local shop workers/owners, and talk to them about short term credit for times when the ATMs are not working, and how to make that work for them?
Water: a teaspoon (5ml) of plain bleach per litre should keep it safe to drink for months. It won't taste or smell nice, but it won't kill you.
Food: if the max temp outside is 4C, then that's your fridge. Food should last a week. Maybe a tradesman's tool chest screwed to the roof (if you have roof access), with a padlock?
Thanks for the update!

- 2rsf 4y agoSoon temperatures will drop below zero and food will freeze, that's fine for preservation but without a proper heat source you might get stuck with food you can't eat
- Max-Ganz-II 4y agoWell, it's a first rolling blackout so far, so the power is back on now. I took out a bunch of cash from an ATM. Water - going to pick up a big canister of mineral water and lug it home. Maybe roll it home :-) Food, that's going to be a learning curve, if it comes to it.
- Max-Ganz-II 4y agoActually, as an aside, I fast ever other day, and occasionally take five day fasts, so periods with no food is fine. In the longer term though you need access to fruits and vegtables. Protein much less so.
