triage tent
Field medical station
A triage tent is a temporary shelter set up to sort casualties by severity during emergencies, disasters, or mass casualty events.
Medical personnel assess patients and prioritize treatment—those needing immediate care, those who can wait, and those beyond help.
The Red Cross erected triage tents outside the collapsed building.
The term extends to any improvised medical staging area.
