An Assigned Area is a hyper-local area within your jurisdiction. Assigned Areas break up a organizations jurisdiction into smaller, more specific areas such as zones, districts, HOAs and or neighborhoods. Assigned Areas serve various functions, including:

• Allowing Verified Accounts users to subscribe to receive email alerts specific from an assigned area.
• Enabling Verified Accounts users to tailor their Feed to focus solely on a assigned area or revert to back the entire jurisdiction.
• Empowering Verified Accounts users to post messages to one or multiple designated areas simultaneously.
