Not quite @chipperyman573. A few points to make here: -- Since we only have city-level location for most users, declaring the area isn't as hard as drawing on a map. We usually just select a number of cities, regions, states, or countries that are affected by the crisis. -- We always allow people to declare themselves into the crisis (or out) in case our geolocation prediction is inaccurate. This means we can be a bit more selective with the geographic area, since we want to be pretty high signal with our notifications. We actually use notification click-through and conversion rates as downstream signals on how well a launch went. -- For something like Paris, we actually just selected the whole city and launched. Especially with the media reporting "Paris terror attacks," this seemed like a good fit.
