"I haven't dealt with the major issues in a community, but I have had to handle power outages in the building I currently work in. Thankfully all employees have the ability to work remotely so any time there is a power outage, operations can continue while I work with the power company to restore power."

Share how you've dealt with these issues in the community and provide an example if you have one to share. In your response, explain what happened and the end result.

"In my current role as a XYZ, I've had to deal with storm damages and outages on several occasions. Because our area has been hit by major storms in the past, I stay informed of potential bad weather and alert residents as early as possible that storms are in the forecast which could cause power outages, damages from the wind, and downed trees. Once the damage ends, I immediately contact the maintenance crew and power company so they can assess and repair damages."
