What Our Clients Say

We could not be more excited about our selection of JEO. In our opinion, JEO excels at open, honest communication and a willingness to educate key decision makers in discussing options and their impacts. They compiled a stellar team of professionals with the skills and relationships necessary to not only develop the plan, but to assist us in executing the plan.
Kevin D. Mayberry, PE, Engineer, Mills County

There was no doubt in choosing the consultant to hire for our next update. JEO has demonstrated that they deliver plans on time and meet FEMA’s requirements. We are about to kick-off our process with JEO, and it gives me peace of mind knowing that we have a reliable team to get the job done.
Troy Bass, Emergency Manager, Marion County

This is an exemplary plan. It is easy-to-read, thorough, and concise. It is clear that thoughtful discussions occurred throughout the planning process; a tremendous amount of information is synthesized and summarized, and the planning team’s care and attention to detail are evident throughout the plan. Jurisdictional profiles are well-constructed and exemplify the intent of mitigation plans to reduce or eliminate vulnerabilities. The planning team should be proud of this effort.
