You could run for political office and hope you make the "hide this person underground" cut, but the chances are slim. Your best course of action is just to watch a ton of movies on the subject and take notes at the third annual Doomsday Film Festival.

The festival boasts so many apocalypse-themed movies it'll make your radioactive head spin. There will be time-honored classics like Colossus: The Forbin Project and Dr. Strangelove. You can also lay your mutant eyes on newer takes on the genre, including Miracle Mile and Lifeforce. Many of the films are paired up with related panel discussions and symposiums so you too can hone your doomsday punditry skills.

The world begins ending on October 21st and finishes its last gasp on the 23rd, unless you rustle up some oil miners to drill into an asteroid or something. Be there or be a three-eyed monster that trawls decimated ruins looking for its next victim, as the saying goes.
