### post a summary describing the high-level incident, that it is resolved, and how it was resolved. | |||
### post that summary message to any client channels such as Slack too. | |||

The only reason to reopen a thread in SRE - Report should be to report that there's still impact and the incident has been resolved prematurely. | |||
