    Family and friends of MCLB Barstow,

    Recent earthquakes remind us, we live in a region where natural disasters not only have the potential to cause severe damage they are also very unpredictable. Storms and floods are forecasted days or weeks in advance, but earthquakes strike suddenly, so have a plan and resources in place at all times. If you have not already, visit https://www.ready.marines.mil/Make-a-Plan/ and develop a personal emergency action plan!

    In preparation for the upcoming school year, take full advantage of the services available on Base. We have a great team of dedicated MCCS personnel ready to assist. Contact our School Liaison Adam Diaz, if you have questions about our local schools, registration requirements, or start dates at 760-577-5854 or adam.diaz@usmc-mccs.mil. Also, please join us at the Day Center to receive (lots!) of free school supplies on August 8 at the Back to School Jubilee.
