10. Utilize Free Public Resources
After the SHTF, you will have to rely on yourself for ways to cool off, and this will include making up for a lack of electricity.
In the meantime, though, there are many free public resources that most people can take advantage of. For example, your local public library will be air conditioned, and it will also have a sitting area where you can relax and enjoy the cool air for free.
Most libraries have free WiFi and, of course, plenty of books to read, so it will be easy to remain cool and entertained for hours. Keep in mind that your taxes are helping to pay for the library, so you might as well utilize it instead of cranking up your A/C.
Now that you have a few new ideas, be sure to implement them to save money during the next heatwave!
