dc.description.abstractThe paper draws lessons of extreme disasters and how it affects preservation and conservation of information resources. Data obtained were from survey of thirty respondents from the scenes of two unfortunate incidents of fire disasters that affected The President Kennedy Library, Congo Campus and Administrative block of Institute for Agricultural Research, Samaru. The data gathered were analysed using descriptive statistics. The result showed prompy and immediate community response to curb the two menaces, but lack of required and specialized equipment hampered rescue of most of the information resources amounting to significant losses and having significant negative effects on dissemination of information. The paper suggested effective management policies on safety measures, training and education, provision of safety equipment which should be positioned in strategic locations in cases of emergency. All electrical appliance and disaster prone materials be constantly checked to ensure functionality, safely and kept secured.en_US
