How can I create a new place defined by a polygon or boundingbox?

When querying for places, the result data contains information about boundingboxes and/or polygons.
But when I try to create a new place, The only geo-information I can set is the location.

Is there another way to create places which are defined by polygons?

Background of this question is a system sending weather and health warnings which affect only a certain area defined as a polygon. These warning should be bound to a place which is an area and not only a point.
