The source text states that the flags are to be flown at half-staff beginning today, August 14, and ending at the close of business on August 18.

The notice does not identify any counties, cities, or specific facilities, so the order is statewide for Alaska state flags.

The source also includes the phrase “half-staff sunrise to sunset local time,” which reflects the daily flag display rule referenced in the notice.
