"Charge devices, turn up your heat prior and turn down your fridge temp — and keep close during the outage — Similar to tactics used during a power outage during the storm," Ward 6 City Councilor Meg Riccardi suggested.

National Grid said the planned outage is needed to upgrade electric systems in the area and maintain system reliability.
