New York Magazine probably doesn't want you to hit the panic button or anything, but they've included a nifty little how-to-survive-the-apocalypse guide in this week's issue. We're talking plagues of locusts and the Four Horsemen here. Check out the teaser for the article:

"Avian flu, hurricane, chemical spill, terrorist bomb, earthquake: Whatever the next apocalypse is, New York—and New Yorkers—are getting ready for it. But have we done enough? The strategies and tactics of survival."

Of course, there's the now-obligatory quotes from Dr. Irwin Redlener, who is bracing for the mother-of-all-doomsday scenarios: "Four years after 9/11, we are, as a nation, extraordinarily, inexplicably unprepared to deal with a major catastrophic event."
