## Adding Equipment

Equipment are added in **Operations → Resources** by setting the [Resource Type](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/modules/operations/resources/..#resource-type) to *Equipment* when adding a [new resource](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/modules/operations/resources/..#adding-resources). This is the default Resource Type for new items.
