Subject:        Available on line March 25:  "Mapping the Risks: Assessing
the Homeland Security Implications of Publicly Available Geospatial
Information"

On March 25, the RAND Corporation will release a report on homeland security
implications for making geospatial information publicly available.
The report, "Mapping the Risks: Assessing the Homeland Security
Implications of Publicly Available Geospatial Information" (Report #
MG-142) will be available at: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG142/ as
of March 25, 2004.  Anyone can download the PDF version for free at this
site.
This report documents a RAND study that was sponsored by the National
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the study partner USGS, to assess
the homeland security implications of publicly available geospatial
information. Specifically, RAND researchers assessed whether and how
geospatial data and information that is publicly available from U.S.
federal sources can be exploited by terrorists and other adversaries seeking
to attack U.S. critical infrastructure. The study also provides an
analytical process that can be used to identify and evaluate potentially
sensitive geospatial information.
