Survey: Most aren't ready for doomsday

WASHINGTON (AP) — Are you ready for doomsday? A new survey finds most American aren't.

The report says most Americans are afraid a catastrophe could happen, yet are poorly prepared for it -- with 85 percent of the country not ready for a devastating event.

Other results: nearly one-third of those polled believe the Mayan calendar's prediction about a calamitous event in December 2012 will be at least "somewhat true."

One in four Americans have done nothing to prepare for a catastrophe, and were doomsday to arrive 39 percent of those surveyed don't think they would last two weeks based on the supplies they have on hand.

The survey by National Geographic Channel and Kelton Research was released to coincide with the launch of Nat Geo's new series "Doomsday Preppers."
