Video: Community Health and Social Risk Assessment Demo, EPA vs OEHHA, SVI, and Financial Burden

See how LSARS maps baseline community health risk and social vulnerability to support better, faster permitting decisions.

In this demo, we:
• Compare EPA vs California OEHHA health risk screening (including why results differ)
• Review cancer risk patterns (per million) at county and tract level
• Layer in Social Vulnerability Index signals like vehicle access
• Estimate community financial burden using a cost-of-illness approach, with and without social determinant adjustments
• Show data validation and citations for defensible, regulator-aligned reporting
• Ask the AI assistant what investments reduce cancer risk and improve community health, with sources shown

If you work in environmental permitting, compliance, infrastructure delivery, or community engagement, this series is built for you.
