For any library to be fully prepared for a disaster, the staff must be aware of the possibility of a disaster. They must also be aware of the necessary measures needed to be taken in order to prevent the disaster from causing too much damage. Awareness is being informed or having the knowledge about something. Lack of awareness implies ignorance which consequences could be fatal. In the result of a study carried out by Oluwatola et al (2015) on disaster management practices in five public libraries in south/ west Nigeria majority of the staff indicated that they are fully aware of the disaster preparedness measures and have knowledge on how to use the available disaster equipment. In the same vein, Marfo and Borteye (2016) carried out a study on disaster preparedness in Kwame Nkruma University of Technology Ghana, using 47 respondents 7 and in the result obtained, majority of the respondents 32 (68.1%) indicated that they are fully aware of the locations of the emergency exits, and the locations of the fire extinguishers 43(91.5%).
