muster station

Emergency gathering spot

A muster station is a designated gathering point where people assemble during emergencies, particularly on ships and offshore platforms.

Passengers learn their muster station during safety drills: Report to your muster station when you hear the alarm.

The term comes from military muster, meaning to assemble troops for inspection or roll call.
