Accela reduces the impacts of natural disasters by helping ensure adherence to building and fire codes, and then helps agencies respond quickly to events to ensure public safety and efficient rebuilding.

Accela serves many agencies in three ways, to reduce the impacts of natural disasters

  1. We help agencies regulate proper zoning, structural engineering, and code enforcement to reduce the impacts of damage caused by natural disasters
  2. We have a packaged solution for Rapid Damage Assessment, so agencies can react immediately with data collection of damaged areas
  3. Post-disaster, Accela facilitates rapid plan reviews, approvals, and permitting for efficient and rapid rebuilding
