Local officials worked to salt the roads and clear hazards so the trucks could pass safely. On Tuesday, due to the increase in power usage and strain on the electrical infra- structure, JDEC's grid and transmission operators were no longer able to meet the demand of the network of transmission lines, and as a result they were forced to take "load-shedding measures," otherwise known as rolling blackouts. In addition, cus- tomers were asked to reduce energy usage especially between 5 and 10 p.m. each day in order to reduce the demand on the grid.
