I work in the industry. This is an accurate representation of the two technologies for the most part except both technologies rely on batteries when commercial power is lost. With cable the power supply (might be more than one per node) is located on a pole or ground enclosure. With FIOS/FTTH the battery is located in the ONT powered at the customer's home in most cases that also includes a built in battery. Either way you'll have to bring your own power past the 8-12 hour mark of a major outage. Everything else comes down to staffing and good emergency planning. Keeping tree's trimmed away from overhead utilities is also essential. Towns or communities that mandate more underground utilities almost always fair better in large wind/storm outages.
