That's true in the event of an impending political or economic implosion. Converting devaluing currency into something more stable or easily sellable may provide the lifeline needed in the aftermath. I can't see it helping in the traditional BOB situation (minutes or hours to evacuate unexpectedly). You'll still have to survive the next couple of days without assistance.
