On the heels of a jubilant Fourth of July holiday, a series of earthquakes rattled Southern California. The 6.4-and 7.1-magnitude earthquakes hit near Ridgecrest, California, opening fault lines and causing widespread damage, much of it at China Lake Naval Station. The damage caused by the quakes displaced many of the armed services families located on the base.

To help the military families affected by the earthquakes, Cramer, Johnson, Wiggins & Associates (CJW), a division of Sedgwick, recently announced a partnership with both Aon and Lincoln Military Housing to provide aid to and assist the families.
