I wonder; is this idea (and the debit-card idea it replaces) designed to prevent cash-heavy survivors from being robbery victims? If so, perhaps issuing financial aid in the form of traveler's checks might be a better solution, especially if there is a way to pre-print the initial signature of the recipient on the checks (to ensure that every traveler's check has an initial signature to which the second signature, signed in the presence of the payee, can be compared).
