Kat,
Solar in emergencies, comes down to potable "disease free" water, shelter, heat, food, cooking & sanitation. Where does solar help?
Water = boiling or sterilization using UVC
Small Solar concentrator, like Haines 2, or
Aquasense UVC single water bottles or flow systems
Shelter / Heat = passive solar structures
Permanent - Trailers
Temporary - Tents
Food =
Solar refrigeration
Solar drying
Cooking =
Thermal solar cookers
PV solar hot plates / ovens
Sanitation =
Solar composting toilets
Solar solid waste dryers.
Given the number of solar technologies that apply, you might consider a column featuring "Solar sustainability" in several issues each one featuring one of the topics above

I'm still at the drawing board regarding that issue and what it might be called. It would be about how the solar industry can help people survive emergencies, so yes, it would deal with resilience and off-grid technologies. It's not necessarily focused on self-reliance or DIY. The word "resilience" would be a good fit. We have a lot of theme ideas in our queue; this one is in the middle of the list, so it might be a while before we explore this idea.
