Environmental Health for CUPA

Accela helps California CUPAs manage critical data and permits, conduct inspections, and exchange data with CalEPA

Rigorous and complex data management and reporting requirements fuel the important work that California’s CUPAs perform to keep residents and first responders safe. CUPAs must manage data received from various sources while also conducting inspections, issuing permits, and implementing and monitoring enforcement actions.

Receiving and submitting records via CERS, with automatic updates to Accela records
Facilitating transparency with a public portal, automated reporting, and agency-wide data exchange
