Emergency Station
Type: component
PROBLEM
Emergencies happen in parks and there is nothing there.
SOLUTION
The Emergency Station is a sealed, tamper-evident weatherproof cabinet integrated into the lower body of the Park Spark ARC containing a curated set of emergency response resources accessible to any member of the public without a key, code, or subscription. Standard contents include an AED defibrillator with audio-guided usage instructions in four languages, a first aid kit rated for 20 person-incidents, a emergency contact panel with a hardwired panic button that connects to local dispatch via the ARC Comms Node and falls back to cellular on comms failure, a USB charging port on an independent power rail that remains live during ARC shutdown events, a reflective emergency blanket, and a placard with the ARC's GPS coordinates printed in large type for verbal reporting to emergency services. The cabinet door is monitored by a tamper sensor that logs opens and reports to the ARC operator dashboard; the contents are on a recommended 90-day inspection schedule. The cabinet is not locked because emergencies do not wait for a key.
