we usually tuff it out at my house and ive never had to worry about this cause I had tough monitors during those times. The only thing i can think of is maybe my grandmas in the city but the weather eventually got to there to my dads is an option to.

Solar Panels and store emergency energy in batteries if you got the money

What are you trying to say?

He can go without UVB for several days no issues
For short term heat, put chameleon into a shoebox (he'll settle down after he's been in the dark for a while) and use a hot water bottle (your hot water tank will stay warm quite a while, or boil water on a BBQ) or use one of those chemical heat pads such as are used for shipping or keeping hands warm in gloves, or the salt(i think?) based ones in which you snap a metal disk and the liquid gets hot as it hardens, then you can reuse it after boiling.
Some emergency animal hospitals have generators to keep their buildings warm, and may allow emergency day care, for a fee.
Consider a little UPS to run a small watt lightbulb - just enough to keep him warm in a smaller cage covered with a blanket.
You can buy small human-powered generators - you pedal a bike to create current to run his heat light bulb or an electric blanket (this isnt as far fetched as you might think: http://www.los-gatos.ca.us/davidbu/pedgen/pppm_electric_blanket.html or http://www.windstreampower.com/Human_Power_Generator.php or http://www.econvergence.net/easy.htm)
Consider a generator if storms arent rare where you live.
Consider living somewhere with an alternate source of heat, such as propane or a wood fireplace.
The solar panel / wind turbine is a fabulous suggestion, if you've the $ for it.
