I don't buy this at all. Even if GH is down for the entire day, how the heck does NO-ONE on your team know what they're doing? Was no-one working on something already? Did nobody pay any attention during planning? Do you not have anything you can do from memory from your backlog?! If you can't work for a day just because Github is down, then there's bigger problems in your process that github being down. I'm sorry of that sounds harsh, but you're either being hyperbolic or you have some real issues to fix in your team or organisation.
