+Escalation
+##########
+
+.. admonition:: Attention
+ :class: danger
+
+ This document is for LF internal release engineering. The information
+ below references communications channels that are not all reachable by
+ non-LF staff.
+
+Infrastructure critical to releng:
+
+1. Gerrit
+2. Nexus
+3. Jenkins
+
+Priority is to make sure developers are able to continue working. This means
+Jenkins, Nexus, and Gerrit are reachable and can perform code builds.
+
+.. note::
+
+ A project failing because of a bug or compile error in their code is not an
+ emergency. If known working code is failing because the job cannot fetch
+ code from Gerrit, or artifacts from Nexus, or builders are not spawning
+ in Jenkins would be an emergency as infrastructure is not working as expected
+ preventing the project from building their code.
+
+If we are unable to perform any builds and these services are offline then we
+need to make sure someone is working on getting these services back online.
+
+1. Look into the problem and see if we can fix it ourselves
+2. Failing that ping the IT team in ``#it-infra`` for help
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Use ``@here`` in the ``#it-infra`` channel to ping everyone in the channel.
+
+3. Contact emergency line: emergency@linuxfoundation.org
+
+ In the email provide these key details:
+
+ 1. What project (FD.io / OpenDaylight / ONAP / OPNFV / etc...)
+ 2. What service is failing (Gerrit / Jenkins / Nexus)
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The emergency line will ring the pager and contact whoever is on call.
