It is really hard to say with any certainty, It is believed that the poles are not pointed at us, will that be true after it supernovas?

The article I read said it was at 20 degrees. The maximum width of a beam is 20 degrees. The Problem with both of those is the margin of error. You can be sure however if it is pointing at us it's not going to change much. Angular momentum is allot like a speeding car, it takes a lot of force to change its direction.

We could do something if we knew it was coming though, we could stock up on those creatures we wanted to save along with whatever supplies they'd need.

Nateman’s Ark? Now there’s a blast from the past.

OK. Our sun Sol has about +23 degrees angle of declination, Betelgeuse has about +7 degrees angle of declination with respect to the Galactic Center(GC).

The 2 stars are about the same distance from the GC.

The latest estimate of the distance from the Sun to GC is 26,000 (± 1400) light-years.

So, if nothing changes in the boom, we should be in the clear, till the slower particle fallout hits as Meteorites quite a bit later.
