Anyone else who wishes to continue honoring Former Governor Mario Cuomo in this way can do so and will be matching what the state is doing.
"Flags on state buildings will remain lowered through January 31 and return to full-staff on February 1."

How to fly your flag at Half Staff
What sort of flag pole are you using?
When raising the flag to half staff on a vertical pole, always raise it briskly to the top of the flagpole for a moment before lowering it. When taking it down for the night, raise it to the top of the flagpole again & lower it to the bottom.
With a telescoping flag pole it is acceptable to put the USA flag on the second set of rings instead of the top set. In this case the top set would be left empty.
When the United States flag is flown at half-staff, State & other flags should be removed or flown at half-staff too.
For flags that can't be lowered, such as those on many homes, the American Legion says that attaching a black ribbon or streamer to the top of the flag is an acceptable alternative. The ribbon should be the same width as a stripe on the flag and the same length as the flag. |
