    Cash under the mattress would be pointless. Hyper inflation would destroy its value.

    My plan of action for now, if you are genuinely concerned, would be:

    - buy 5 rabbits, 2 male and 3 female and 12 months supply of food for them. This should secure your protein supply in a crisis.
    - buy a shot gun and siginficant supplies of ammunition.
    - buy a spade for possible trench digging and an axe for wood chopping.
    - buy lots of tinned food and bottled water (and toilet roll) and something to carry it from house to trench if needed.
    - buy some water purification tablets.
    - buy a large supply of matches, cigarette lighters and candles.

    Your personal wealth is the last of your problems.
