24 Notes About the @Inciweb Twitter Feed The @Inciweb feed automatically posts tweets when news releases, announcements, or maps have been updated

25 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

26 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.
