muster point
Emergency gathering spot
A muster point is a designated location where people gather during an emergency—typically after evacuating a building due to fire, chemical leak, or other hazard.
The term comes from military usage, where troops muster (assemble) for roll call.
Workplaces and schools identify muster points in advance so evacuees can be counted and accounted for: Everyone meet at the muster point in the parking lot.
