Mitigation, prepare, respond and recovery. Part of the approach includes having an evacuation plan and a supplies kit.&nbsp; The National Hurricane Center recommends the kit contains bottled water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit and a flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electrical Engineering Freshman Felix Ramirez told us how he prepares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>\u201cWe actually have a plan and for when it happens.
