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.

With the death of President Jimmy Carter at age 100, President Joe Biden has ordered flags to fly at half-mast.

The White House ordered that flags at all federal buildings and grounds and at U.S. embassies around the world be flown at half-mast through Jan. 28 in honor of former President Jimmy Carter
