EPA reaches a broader audience through twitter

As part of the EPA's commitment to complement the way it engages with communities, it entered the social media space on 19 September 2013, with a Twitter account: @SA_EPA. The account takes the EPA to a broader audience, to provide information to interested members of the community about the environment, and EPA activities and initiatives.

The account has attracted more than 400 followers from a variety of federal, state and local government agencies, members of parliament, media outlets and journalists, environmental professionals and EPA staff. Our presence in the Twitterverse has also gained international followers from government agencies and academic institutions.

There have been 423 EPA tweets and a total of 213 retweets by other organisations and individuals, extending the reach by up to 9 049 followers.
