Another fallback I have used in the past was to hang a hose into the shower and attach a mister head to it. I also had a mister for the porch. Some people install a mister rail [1] along their patio that has a dozen misters on them. They work great. Uses some water but better than heat stroke. This may be useful for people that can't leave their house and can't afford to install or operate HVAC.
Another method I've used was to point a carpet dryer which is just a big portable blower to a window to blow all the heat out of the house and pull in cooler air from the other windows in the evening so I could sleep. I never bothered to install HVAC. I've since moved to a much cooler place and have an earth bermed home.
