I wonder what the President's flag orders were to public entities like

[Raven]

states and cities and towns. Usually an order comes down from the WH about lowering the flag and for how long. Does anybody know?

[unblock]

1. governors make that call for state buildings; mayors typically make that call for municipalities.

the president only tells federal buildings what to do, afaik.

2. I've been waiting on one

because my boss won't change the flags without one. There is usually a proclamation for flag lowering. I don't think there is one coming. I work for a city. We may have to wait on the governor to make a proclamation.

3. Just for info, US Code

UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 36
CHAPTER 10

§175. Position and manner of display

Of course, that's only the US Code, not like it's official or anything.
