Zones Channels are broken up into 1 or more zones. Zones are individual areas on your channel that you can put your content in. Users build content for specific zones. Bulletins Zones are placeholders for 1 or more bulletins. Zones contain many different bulletins made up of important messages, audio, video, images and alerts.
