safe area
Refuge from danger
A safe area is a designated zone offering protection or refuge.
In conflict zones, safe areas are established where civilians can shelter from fighting: The UN declared the city a safe area.
In video games, safe areas are spaces where players can rest, save progress, or avoid enemies.
The term also applies to broadcast graphics—the portion of a screen guaranteed to display on all devices.
