Employees are penalized for PTO if they cannot work from home (e.g. wifi issues, evac orders)

If they can still work from home, they can use the "natural disaster" exception.

If they are working why do they need an exception?

Because they normally have mandatory work-from-office days during which you're not allowed to WFH. So now you can get an exception for that
