In order to have the webpage working 24/7, the online and mobile shopping working; the IT department is doing all the technical things.

Both of these require records of types and time each activity has taken. This will determine how much staff time is used to complete the administrative activities. There may be more than one staff member who would be included in any time study. The goal is to establish how much staff time could be included for billing purposes. If an agency is only completing one activity, then it could be done using direct billing while maintaining the records of the time spent on the activity. Accurate accounting for activities will be essential for successful billing.

The September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centers presented the inadequacies that had not been acknowledged in other incidents. This paper will give readers a synopsis of the events that took place of the day of September 11th. Readers will also gain an understanding as to exactly what interoperability and what interoperable communications are. This paper will also explore research conducted by government officials as well as others that investigate events

In everyday life communication is one of the most important aspects to receiving information. The information is not just verbal but reading or visual as well. Every morning we wake up and turn on the tv or sit down and read the newspaper. We begin to absorb the information and this continues throughout the day. The fire service no different. We rely on good communication to get our message across. Although, sometimes we fail to effectively use our communications well. This is not only at the company level, but as well in informing the public. I was once told, "information is power" and I certainly agree. Although, the key is to have effective and accurate information. Within the Incident Command System among the Command Staff rests a very
