Topics covered will include the health risks after disasters, special advice for local seniors, the role of Red Cross and MEMA and public safety tips, according to release.

Town Planner Becky Curran, Marblehead Emergency Management Coordinator Chuck Cerrutti, Fire Chief Jason Gilliland, Police Chief Bob Picariello, Jay Anderson of the Marblehead Municipal Light Department, Harbormaster Webb Russell and Health Director Andrew Petty will be on hand.
