| BURN PREVENTION:Burn Prevention Education: The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation works with local hospitals, fire departments, safety coalitions, and other organizations across California to develop innovative programs and services.

In 2020, AARBF pivoted this program to a virtual program. A social media campaign titled FISE Friday was created to introduce this virtual platform over a series of weekly posts May August.

This 4-book series was expanded in 2020 to include audio books and downloadable coloring books. Launched in October of 2020, AARBF brings organization to preparing for wildfires through Wildfire P.R.E.P.A.R.E. AARBF gathered all of the valuable resources and information available for wildfire preparedness and created a hub on the AARBF website to make finding information quick and easy.Webinars: With lockdowns and restrictions in place from COVID-19, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation hosted several webinars in 2020 to keep burn prevention education available to all prevention educators.
