==== Custody of BEECN Equipment ====
* The BEECN volunteers operating a BEECN are custodians of its associated equipment while the BEECN is activated.
* BEECN equipment (such as first aid supplies) may only be taken from the BEECN site with the permission of the BEECN volunteers or professional emergency response personnel. No volunteer group or private citizen can “commandeer” or legally take BEECN supplies without the approval of BEECN volunteers on site. BEECN equipment taken without permission from present BEECN volunteers is considered stolen and should be reported as such to PBEM.
* City of Portland or Multnomah County employees may use BEECN equipment if needed.
