Somewhere in their building, they probably have a DVD copy of "Armaggedon" or "Deep Impact" just for kicks:

NASA has created a special office to deal with coordinating response to threatening near-Earth objects (NEOs).

A major step has been taken to coordinate U.S. agencies and intergovernmental efforts to respond to future near-Earth objects that threaten Earth.

NASA has announced the creation of a Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO). Lindley Johnson, NASA's current near-Earth object (NEO) program executive will lead the newly established office. The PDCO will reside within NASA's Planetary Science Division, in the agency's Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C.

Russia has something similar fully operational already that was only recently made known to the public when it failed to detect the foreign objects the graced one of its city and caught by several dashcam cameras common in Russian cars. In a way, Russia again ahead if it's time and not so 'crazy' anymoreif another superpower follows suit.
