A financial card, also referred to as an evacuation card, may be activated by an institution during an evacuation and may be used in accordance with usage parameters for the purchase of goods and services from merchants during an evacuation. After the evacuation ends, the financial card may be deactivated. The financial card may have a predetermined spending limit or no spending limit as determined by the institution. The spending limit may be modified during an evacuation, such as if the event underlying the evacuation becomes more severe or the duration of the evacuation increases, for example. In an implementation, the financial card may only be used for purchases within a particular geographic location as determined by the institution, may only be used to purchase certain items, and/or may only be used to make purchases at certain merchants. |
