Authority
Who orders flags to half-staff in Florida?
The President directs flags at federal buildings and may issue a nationwide proclamation. The governor can order flags lowered at Florida government facilities and may invite other organizations to participate. When both orders apply, follow the instruction covering your building or organization and the longer applicable period.
Order details
How half-staff orders work in Florida
An official order normally identifies the person or event being honored, when flags should be lowered, when they return to full staff, and which locations are covered. Timing can include sunrise, sunset, noon, or exact dates, so the linked order remains the controlling instruction.
Jurisdiction
Federal vs. Florida orders
A presidential proclamation is national and governs federal facilities. A Florida governor's order is state-specific and can have a different reason or schedule. A state page should therefore be read together with the federal status, especially when deciding when to return a flag to full staff.
