Authority

Who orders flags to half-staff in Rhode Island?

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 Rhode Island

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. Rhode Island orders

A presidential proclamation is national and governs federal facilities. A Rhode Island 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.
