Proclamation

Governor Ducey has ordered that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff until sunset today, April 10, 2015, in honor of former Governor Ra�l H�ctor Castro.

The Governor will again order that flags be lowered to half-staff on the day of his interment. Arrangements are still pending.

Individuals, businesses, and other organizations are encouraged to join in this tribute.

How to properly fly your flag at half-staff.

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.

What if you can't lower your flag?

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.
