The Inciweb article RSS feed autoposts the headline for
articles and announcements with the name of the
incident in parenthesis and a link to the article
Recommendations:
• The title of your article is your
tweet, so make it descriptive
• Don’t include the name of
your incident in your title as it
will appear automatically
• Updates to the 209 section,
Summary, Maps, and Images
do not show up in the RSS
feed, so be sure to post
updates you want to tweet as
articles and announcements
Notes About the @Inciweb Twitter Feed
• The @Inciweb feed
automatically posts
tweets when news
releases, announcements,
or maps have been
updated
Finding Your Unit / Incident Posts on
the @Inciweb Twitter Feed
• Click on your unit or
incident, then scroll
down and click on
“Twitter Feed”
• The hashtags are
autocreated by Inciweb
Tweeting From Inciweb
• Note: Tweets sent directly
from Inciweb do not appear in
the Article RSS feed, and thus
will not be auto posted to your
Twitter account. They only
appear in the @Inciweb feed.
• So be sure to post updates you
want to autotweet to your
account as articles and
announcements instead of
sending tweets from Inciweb.
