emergency medical supplies are stored at various locations across the County, which complicates inventory management, Inventoried items may continue to be outposted to the various sites for restocking of units; however, a single location for delivery and inventory control would be advantageous to EMS. Several departments would utilize the off-site archive records storage available at this facility initially; however, the amount of storage provided in this building is likely to exceed the immediate need for institutional and records storage.
