-Storage Action is a regional service, and it runs against accounts in the same region. When a region is down, both the storage account and service are also down.  The service doesn't support disaster recovery across regions. If you trigger a failover of the storage account to a different region, then storage tasks can’t run against the storage account until it fails back to the original region.  So, although you may be able to recover the storage account, the storage task won't be able to run against it.

+Storage accounts with GRS and GZRS replicate data to a secondary region in the event of storage account failovers. The business continuity of storage actions significantly depends on the redundancy configuration of the target storage account. Storage accounts that are configured with geo-redundancy benefit from an automated failover process. This automatic management ensures that future task assignment run iterations, whether single or recurrent, executes in the secondary region without issues. However, storage tasks that were in progress at the time of failover might encounter failures. New storage tasks and storage task assignments continue to function as expected.
+
+Consistent monitoring of the storage account is crucial. With a failover, you should thoroughly review task reporting and monitoring to verify the successful completion of all blob operations and to identify any discrepancies that need attention.
