It is the policy of the Office of General Services to provide appropriate arrangements for the display of the National and State flags on the exterior of all facilities under its jurisdiction.
Weather conditions preventing the display of flags on any day include rain, sleet, or high wind.
If weather is inclement at the time of flag-raising, flags should not be flown until conditions improve. The National Flag should be displayed especially on the days noted below, or on other days by special proclamation of the President or Governor. This flag should be displayed beneath the National Flag if there is no third staff available. Normally this includes commemoration of the death of a personage of National or State standing, or of a local serviceman, official or public servant, who in the opinion of the agency concerned, contributed to the community. From the date of death until interment of a former Vice President, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the President's Cabinet, the Secretary of the Army, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Air Force, Governor of the State of New York, or a Member of Congress from New York State.
