SCITUATE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

Storm Update 5: 4:54 PM
Posted on: December 19, 2023 - 5:01pm

The Town of Scituate will release another storm update by 8 pm this evening.

As of 4:54 pm, approximately 75% of Scituate customers served by National Grid have had power restored. Complete power restoration may take up to 48 hours from today. Teams from National Grid and contracted crews are diligently working through the night to restore power.

National Grid crews will never request money from residents. There have been reported cases in surrounding towns where tree cleanup crews falsely claimed affiliation with National Grid and sought payment for their services. If anyone approaches you asserting they are with National Grid asking for payment, please contact National Grid at 1-800-465-1212 or the Scituate Police Department at 781-545-1212.

Scituate Public Schools will provide an update later tonight regarding the status of the school tomorrow.
