State half-staff
status

Flag-lowering instructions can come from more than one authority. A governor may issue a state-specific half-staff order for government buildings and other covered locations, while a presidential proclamation or federal order can apply nationwide. The dates, locations, and instructions may differ, so the federal and state status pages should be checked together.
