As the 2024 hurricane season progresses, Accela reaffirms its commitment to supporting communities in their time of need. When disaster strikes, a rapid response is critical to expedite clean-up, safety assessments, and recovery efforts.

Accela is proud to extend complimentary access to our Rapid Damage Assessment (RDA) Cloud Service to any jurisdiction impacted by hurricanes this season. Our solution is designed to accelerate the inspection processes that are essential for bringing residents and businesses back to their properties quickly and safely.

Our RDA Cloud Service, available for as long as these communities need it, offers:

  • Mobile Inspections: Inspectors can conduct assessments in the field using mobile devices, ensuring efficient data collection and reporting.
  • Bulk Inspection Record Creation and Assignments: Speed up the inspection process by automatically creating and assigning large numbers of inspection records.
  • Public-Facing Portal: Citizens and officials can easily access and report RDA results by address or area, facilitating transparency and streamlined communication.
  • Simplified FEMA Relief Reporting: Generate and share inspection results and damage reports that align with FEMA’s relief requirements.

If you are a jurisdiction needing assistance, please reach out to us at DisasterRelief@accela.com. Our team is ready to assist and get your community set up with the tools and support needed for rapid and safe recovery.

Accela has extensive experience in land management and building permitting, and our solutions are tailored to address the unique challenges communities face in the aftermath of severe weather events. We’ve worked alongside city leaders and inspectors following past hurricanes such as Katrina, Harvey, Irma, and Ian, deploying our RDA solution to significantly reduce the time required for damage assessment and reporting.

To the communities affected by recent storms, please know you are in our thoughts, and your swift recovery is our top priority. Don’t hesitate to reach out for support—Accela is here to help you rebuild stronger.
