Just to set expectations, hosts files solve for the scenario that all that's knocked out is DNS (the servers that convert greatawakening.win to an IP address) and everything else works. That is an unlikely scenario, in my opinion.
Totally valid thing to do, but there are a huge number of moving parts that make the Internet go, and the likelihood that DNS will go down or be used as the sole way to bring services down…is low.
How can it be done in that case? I would be interested to know. I did hear that Killary has the encryption keys for "the internet" but that was 4 odd years ago.
Targeted DDoS attacks on infrastructure, physical infrastructure attacks, military occupation of key infrastructure are three scenarios that come to mind that would not be helped by host files.
All Internet is through a handful of companies who presumably work with the government. I'm sure they can just whitelist certain IPs so you can only see "trusted" websites

I would bet the Q team knows everything about & has accounted for whatever she might have ;)
