Hospitals, fuel pipelines, and schools have also been disrupted by the file-locking cyberattacks in recent years, prompting the Biden administration to treat ransomware as a national security crisis.

So yes, keep enough cash on hand to survive 2-3 weeks (if possible), but don't worry about yoinking out every last dime.
If you're with a credit union, like I am, check that you're with an NCUA-insured #CreditUnion to know that you have similar protections on your money.
Note that there are no such provisions for money market accounts. Those are unsecured account types.
Okay, seeing more "bank run" news in the US, this time from #PacWest.
US folks, if you're with an #FDIC insured bank, the US government will replace USD$250,000 -=per account=- of your money if the bank fails.
That's:
* personal checking
* personal savings
* business checking for a sole proprietorship (if you have one)
* business savings for a sole proprietorship (if you have one)
[I think that's the key types of insured accounts that one individual can have.]
