RIDGECREST, Calif. — The series of earthquakes that struck Southern California rendered Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake not mission-capable.
In a post to the base’s Facebook page, Rear Admiral Bette Bolivar said non-essential active duty, drilling reservists, civilian employees and dependents are authorized to evacuate to a radius of within 100 miles of “safe haven” Naval Base Ventura County, near Point Mugu.
A base official told ABC News that the evacuation was not weapons-related; it was ordered due to infrastructure concerns in areas where employees live and work. The official said the public should not be concerned by the evacuation.
China Lake remains accessible for mission-essential personnel only, and officials told non-mission-essential personnel not to attempt to access the installation.
