What will help people if the cash runs out and your debit or credit card no longer works?

The only way debit and CC cards would cease to function would be if a total loss of telecommunications occurred. Pretty much only a full scale nuclear war could do that, and we would be worried about other things than money if it did.

Not exactly true. If government declares a bank holiday like in Greece or some such, and either declares an emergency shut down or severe restrictions on withdrawals you may find your card doesn’t work.
And more than a few people have had lines of available credit vanish when a bank panic starts. Banks retain full legal ability to close accounts or make that 10k credit card have available credit of 500 bucks or a 1000.
