Know Your Muster Point: Stay Safe at Candle Lake
A Muster Point is a safe, designated, pre-arranged meeting place outside a building, worksite, or community gathering area. During an emergency, employees, residents, and visitors can gather at the Muster Point to stay safely away from danger. It also allows emergency personnel to conduct a headcount, confirm that everyone is safe, and provide rescue teams, emergency responders and community with important information.
