# Trigger panic

`POST /panic`

Triggers panic for a panel member. Location can reference in-game places:

1. **Map refs** — `postal`, `street` / `streetName`, and/or `x`+`z`
2. **Live ER:LC player position** — omit place fields, or set `usePlayerLocation: true`
3. **Free-text** — `location` and/or `postal` strings without map lookup

Response includes a `map` object when a postal/street/coords lookup succeeded.
