All sites should share the same database to prevent duplication.

############
use cases:
############

    We have MVHub (Merrimack Valley), NorthShorePort (north shore) and
TBA (springfield?) Each site covers a particular geographic region.

case set 0:
- ---
Agency or program has a service area that is both MV and NS, they
shouldn't have to maintain two sets of records.

  ---Each agency or program should get (1) email reminder for each record
  ---Each agency or program should be reminded that their info goes on
(2) sites
  --each agency or program

Examples:

    Dear <wide geographic agency>
      It is time to update your record click here:

   http://mvhub.com/rm=ql?id=34884848848484848

  ...by the way, your records will also be updated on
http://northshoreport.org

  What if some agencies have some programs in geographic area of MVHub
but not NorthShorePort and other programs in NorthShorePort but not MVHub ?

    Do the programs with north shore only areas goto northshoreport.org?
    The ones with MVHub only goto mvhub
    All updates to a 3rd website ?
    does the update/data entry work like display to users, only show
programs that match terratory?

case set 1:

    If an agency has no programs with a service area that overlaps with
that greographic area, don't show that agency on that site.

    If a program service area doesn't overlap with a websites coverage
area, don't show program
