Committee flags missing Connex protocols and inventory gaps, including absent batteries

Dec 2, 2025

The Yachats committee highlighted that Connexes lack written opening/operating protocols, inventories are out of date in some containers and one handheld radio was found without batteries; members proposed quarterly checks and assigned battery swaps to an inspector.

The full story

Members said inventories in some Connex containers appear to be outdated and that protocol documentation is missing. The Chair said, "To me, one of the biggest things we have failed on in the Connexes is our protocols. We don't have any written documentation of what to do when you open the door." Several members noted they discovered missing or expired items; one member said finding a unit with no batteries was "surprising." The group proposed making inventory checks quarterly and writing up concrete instructions for opening and operating each Connex.
