Good morning, North Fork! It's Lisa Finn, your host of the Daily. Top in the news today, an event in Greenport tonight aims to tackle one of the most critical issues facing our communities today. The pandemic has led to increased risks for those battling addiction as isolation has led to an uptick in overdoses. Tonight's gathering in Greenport brings together prevention experts to help discuss how to confront the crisis with a focus on reconnection, rebuilding, healing — and hope.

It's an event not to miss if you or someone you love is battling addiction, or if you want to take part in helping the community fight back against the deadly scourge.

Until tomorrow. . .

First, today's weather:

Cooler with a passing shower. High: 68 Low: 58.
