Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, schools, offices, and public events designate specific "puntos de encuentro" (e.g., a marked bench, a fire‑exit area, or a nearby plaza). Mentioning that they are "seguros" signals that the location has been evaluated for visibility, accessibility, and low risk of hazards, which is especially important during natural disasters or public safety drills.
