Well, depends on the impending disaster:
If it's a local event then probably try to help my family and others, give support in every way I can help and simply continue on with life as usual.
However, if it's an ELE event, I am outer here.
Thanks for asking,

If an ELE type event were to be occurring in the near future, I think it would be silly to underestimate just how much time, effort and money would be put into keeping it a secret. Certainly, they would make sure that a few lone internet researchers would have no way in hell of proving said event, perhaps they could even use well intentioned skeptics to their advantage?
Then why are they holding public conferences and urging international co-operation on Planetary Defense?
Again, don't underestimate them. You can't use what your own simple mind would do as a way to figure out what they are doing. So just because you wouldn't hold an asteroid conference if trying to hide 2012, doesn't mean they are going to do the same. I for one would hold all such conference as per normal, otherwise wouldn't people suspect something is up? Or perhpas form their own conference and stumble upon something?

In other words, no matter what they say or do, you will believe the opposite. You are entitled to that belief system, but I don't think it justifies calling my mind "simple."

Was the Dust Bowl in the 1930's a ELE? By the descriptions I'm getting here WW II would be considered an ELE.
It kind of takes a bit of the intrinsic meaning away from Extinction Level doesn't it? It should be ALE–Alarming Level Event, or NELE–Near Extinction Level Event, or how about WHOA NELLE–Weird Hypothetical Omnipotent Attack Near Extinction Local Level Event, or WISE–Whatever I Say Event. Either way there should be a little more bite in the word choices.
I'm just trying to understand if these comets are indeed coming from the Oort cloud. I thought it was theorized Pluto came from the Oort cloud? If we can see Pluto then I was just wondering why we couldn't see other Pluto's in other Oort clouds. If we can see 14 billion years in the past I would think we can see other Oort clouds if they exist.
