But we need a stockpile, so we need to figure out how to protect it, and how to cycle through it.

Ventilators are harder, because we need to bring them through maintenance and some use, but they don’t “expire” so we aren’t throwing them out and restocking.

It would probably be a good idea to model the medical equipment cache on the Forestry Service's National Incident Radio Support Cache (NIRSC). This radio cache consists of some 8,000 handheld radios, 200 repeaters, plus a dozen or more portable satellite systems. It is located and maintained by the National Interagency Incident Communications Division (NIICD) of the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) in Boise, Idaho. They obviously have a plan to periodically test, replace parts and replace older or damaged equipment - and it has been successfully run for decades.
