Storage
 

From the document "The drug kit must remain secured in the ambulance at appropriate temperatures at all times. These kits are not intended to be stored within the EMS facility."

There is a practical need to store medication kits in a secured manner when a vehicle is out of service for repair etc. Allowing a properly secured and monitored storage location in a facility (such as the Fire-EMS station where the vehicle is typically located) should be considered.
