triage center
Emergency priority hub
A triage center is a facility where people or cases are sorted by urgency or priority.
In medical contexts, it's where patients are assessed and directed to appropriate care based on the severity of their conditions: The hospital set up a triage center in the parking lot during the surge.
The term extends to disaster response, refugee processing, and any situation requiring rapid sorting of large numbers: The city opened a triage center for displaced residents.
