FEMA engagement report
@fema - 818K followers on X
Measured over 23 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 30 interactions against 818K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 23 original posts, its engagement rate beats 23% of 3,809 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 6.7K times each, and 0.449% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.817% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.6 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 23 posts sampled, 96% carry an image or video, 22% are part of a thread and 61% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 247 interactions, about 8.2x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #nhsc2026, #stallionfire, #summerready.

Compared with accounts its own size
FEMA's engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 30% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.004%, FEMA sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- What is FEMA's engagement rate on X?
- FEMA (@fema) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 23 original posts from the last 30 days against 817,788 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, FEMA sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,960 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @fema have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 23% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,809 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @fema post?
- Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.57 posts per day across the measured window.
