We had our cold-weather disaster; what about a hot-weather disaster? What if it's really hot in the summertime and a power outage knocks out air conditioning? (The record high temperature for Texas during summer is 120°F.)

Lay down in the shadows (windy if possible) undress and put a wet towel over your upper body.
Practicing now
I used this trick in the summer, it's a blessing. We don't usually have A/C here and it got really hot. If you have working power, you can combine this with a fan and it will really cool you down, for much less energy than an A/C would need.
