The White House ordered public flags to be displayed at half-staff for a period of 30 days from Carter's day of death, who died Dec. 29. Flags are flown at half-mast on ships and at naval stations. On shore, flags are flown at half-staff, meaning the flagpole is attached to a building or stuck in the ground.

Flags will fly at half-staff from Dec. 29 until Jan. 28 - through Inauguration Day - in honor of former President Jimmy Carter.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered flags to be flown at half-staff until sunset on Wednesday, Jan. 15 at all local and state buildings, installations and grounds throughout the state.

Flags will remain at half-mast and half-staff most of the month for Jimmy Carter's death. Jan. 9 will be a national day of mourning for his funeral.

Flags at the federal and state levels are being flown at half-staff to honor former President Jimmy Carter who died on Dec. 29, 2024.
