Curtains, and if your area permits it, foil-backed foam sheets in the windows to reflect a lot of the light and slow the temperature transfer from the outside even further. (My apartment complex in Arizona did not permit foiling the windows.) Swamp cooling is no, but hauling in ice and doing a short-range fan across it will cool the immediate area a little. I have sacks made out of old towels to stuff blue ice packs inside and hug at night, from before we got the heat pump, and I'd be using them if we lost power.
