Order details
How half-staff orders work in Louisiana
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. Louisiana orders
A presidential proclamation is national and governs federal facilities. A Louisiana 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.
