Mast is an informational flag-status tool. It helps answer whether a U.S. flag should be flown at full-staff or half-staff, why the order is active, and where to verify the official source.
Mast watches federal and state flag-status sources for half-staff orders, observances, and official notices.
Each detected order is organized by location, authority, start date, end date, and source so the current status is easier to read.
Mast is informational, so active orders include a source link when available and should be verified with the official notice when it matters.
