Multi-story car parks attached to malls, offices and residential towers see constant use yet are almost never staffed — a genuinely overlooked gap in most buildings' overall emergency coverage.
High Foot Traffic, Zero Staff Presence
Unlike the retail or office space it serves, a parking structure typically has no dedicated staff at all, meaning any emergency depends entirely on another passing visitor noticing.
Physical Exertion Often Happens Here
Carrying heavy shopping, climbing stairs when elevators are busy, and walking long distances in heat all happen routinely in parking structures, adding genuine physical strain.
Poor Mobile Signal Complicates Calling for Help
Concrete, multi-level structures often have weaker mobile signal, potentially delaying a call to emergency services at exactly the moment speed matters most.
CCTV Monitoring Doesn't Replace Physical Coverage
Security teams watching camera feeds can spot an incident, but still need a genuinely nearby AED to respond quickly — monitoring alone doesn't close the gap.
A Sensible Addition to Existing Building Coverage
Buildings that already have a well-equipped main lobby often overlook their own parking structure entirely — a straightforward gap worth closing as part of a full building review.
