I know I can throw a temp chunk of fiber on the ground and have things up and running in an hour or two.
If you can gain entry to do that. Look at the major CA fire zones that just happened: nobody was getting in for weeks on end. But I did see a lot of emergency PCNs for new microwave paths that skipped over closed areas. Nobody is going to let you work on a temporary splice next to a building that's partially collapsed. Or a broken gas line. Or a broken water line that's undermining the area. Roads/bridges can become impassable in seconds. So many variables that could keep you out of any given area you could shoot over with microwave much faster. With fire tower sites are often defensible structures for fire crews.
In earthquake or fire disaster planning always include microwave. If you have to realign you're guaranteed to only need access to the endpoints not potentially X number of midpoints if there's more than one fiber break.
