# Escalations

- [Escalation policies](https://docs.spike.sh/escalations/introduction-to-escalations.md): Escalation policies define who gets alerted and when, so incidents don't go unacknowledged.
- [How to create an escalation policy](https://docs.spike.sh/escalations/how-to-create-an-escalation-policy.md): Create an escalation policy to define who gets alerted and when during an incident.
- [Repeat escalations](https://docs.spike.sh/escalations/repeat-escalations.md): Repeat escalations restart the policy from the top when no one acknowledges or resolves an incident.
- [Archive escalation policy](https://docs.spike.sh/escalations/archive-escalation-policy.md): Archive an escalation policy when it's no longer in use.
