Annotation Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, many federal agencies began restricting some of their publicly available geospatial data and information from such sources as the World Wide Web. As time passes, however, decisionmakers have begun to ask whether and how such information helps terrorists and other potential attackers to select U.S. homeland sites and prepare for attacks. Under the direction of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, a team of RAND researchers sought to clarify how geospatial information can be exploited by attackers and what kinds of information might prove most valuable. After evaluating both the "supply" and "demand" of geospatial data and information and surveying hundreds of websites, the authors developed a framework of three steps-usefulness, uniqueness, and benefits and costs-for assessing the implications of making such information available. This book aims to assist decisionmakers tasked with the responsibility of choosing which geospatial information to make available and which to restrict. The authors also make general recommendations about how the federal government should communicate with public-and private-sector decisionmakers tasked with comparable assessments at more-local levels.
