Widespread power outage in Spain and Portugal
What do you do when the ATMs run out of cash? It's not an unlimited supply in them.
You should probably just keep some cash on hand. And keep an FM radio and a few batteries on hand.

My fear is that without access to cash, people might loot stores or riot to get essentials, once they get desperate. Keeping ATMs online for longer would make that kind of event less likely.
