Countries stock up on masks to prepare for future pandemics.
What can/do they stock up on to prepare for extended heat waves? Ground water reserves? Generators and fuel? Underground shelters?

And maybe keep kinda quiet about it, too. If your nice & friendly neighbors are facing death by heat stroke, they could grow considerably less nice & friendly.
- scruple 3y agoWe have solar and a battery and I think about this sometimes. Air conditioners are very noisy and solar panels are on display for anyone to see. People know. It's not an actual, safe off-grid solution during a major event when you're in the middle of suburbia.
