A place to share information on emergency preparedness as it relates to disasters both natural and man-made.
Would you survive in the event of economic, political and social collapse? What natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes are prevalent in your area? What can you do? What should you be doing now? What do you need to know/have?
This is a community for those who think that it's better to be safe than sorry, and that we need to start preparing now.

Consider a portable power station too - they're quieter, can be used indoors without CO risk, and prices have dropped a ton (check out gearscouts.com for comparisons on the best value LFP models per watt-hour).
This sounds false. Aren't there places in Africa where it gets to like 120⁰f and few have AC?
It isn't the temperature, it's the humidity.
Wet bulb is a way measure how much evaporative cooling you can have. Once wet bulb gets to 95°F even a healthy fit individual will die given enough time even in the shade with a fan. It might be 112 but as long as the wet bulb stays below 95°F your body can cool with sweat. Any higher wet bulb the human body only heats up from the environment and can no longer cool, eventually leading to fatal hyperthermia (heat exhaustion and heat stroke).
So through other comments I understand what it is, but can someone explain why you couldn't just sit in a bath of cold water, and keep filling it with new cold water as it heats up from your body?
In order to produce cold water, you'll need power of some kind.
Ain't your ground/city/well water cold enough though?
