Part of the measures that need to be put in place in preparing for disaster are facilities and equipment. These facilities and equipment vary depending on the type of disaster prevalent in a particular library. But since the most common types of disaster in libraries are fire and floods, there are some equipment that ought to be available in all libraries in order to manage such disasters. Thus fire extinguishers, fire alarm systems, automatic fire suppression systems, smoke/ heat detectors, fire buckets, water detectors, flood extractors, wet pick-up vacuums, brooms, pales and mops are some of the equipment required to manage fire and flood disasters in libraries. In the finding of a research conducted by Sawant (2014) on preservation and conservation practices in academic libraries in Mumbai district of India using 41 respondents, most of the Libraries indicated that they have fire extinguishers 30 (85.7%). Similarly, in the findings of a research conducted by Ngulube and Magazi (2006) on protecting documents in Public Libraries in Kwa-zulu Natal, South Africa against disaster and theft using 50 respondents, all the respondents 50 (100%) indicated the availability of fire extinguishers in their Library buildings. Furthermore, majority of the respondents 43 (86%) also indicated that the fire extinguishers are updated and operable. More so, majority of the respondents 35 (75%) indicated that the fire extinguishers are inspected annually.
