Actually, I guess the first question is: are you going to adapt in place or become a refugee to an unaffected place? Obviously, if you stay in place you need either enough land to provide your own food or you need to provide a product or service in tall demand so that you can barter for your food. Either way you need to be able to fortify and defend yourself: police will only stick around for so long once the pay checks stop (and as money becomes more and more worthless). Before the dollar tanks I'd get a well dug, install rainwater collection and solar panels.

But most likely I'd head for civilization: trade everything I have for a tall stanced 4x4 jeep, two sets of tires (one highway, one aggressive off-road), multiple gas tanks, etc. and head for South America.
