# AuditEvent Example: auditevent-example-breakglass-start

## Narrative

Authorized Break-Glass period has been declared to enable immediate emergent treatment condition. This AuditEvent indicates the start of the Break-Glass event. Another would indicate the stop of that Break-Glass period, provided there is a session or state that can detect the end of the break-glass event.
